Stradbally National SchoolSchool master's house · 33 ydExplorer Tom Stradbally National School claims it’s older than the concept of homework itself, which is complete rubbish but sounds good. The Gothic windows are just trying to be fancy and failing spectacularly. Go back in winter when the ghosts are definitely shivering too.
Castleconnell Parish HallTown/county hall · 57 ydExplorer Tom Castleconnell Parish Hall in Coolbane has a stepped pediment that looks like it’s trying to be modern but failing miserably. In a zombie attack, it would probably hide behind the utilitarian side elevations and cry. Snap one photo, then go home.
P.j. GuerinCoaching inn · 64 ydExplorer Tom P.j. Guerin in Coolbane hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can quite prove happened. A carriage arrived, tipped over, and left without paying for the damage. Stand still and listen closely; you might hear the wheels creaking again.
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 84 ydExplorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Coolbane is a dramatic Gothic Revival feature in the landscape, designed by Corbett with Hardwick’s influence. It’s built from snecked limestone and looks like it’s waiting for a movie scene. Dare you to say hello to it without looking up at the spire.
Castle Connell (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 224 ydExplorer Tom Castle Connell in Coolbane started because two lads made a bet in a pub about who could build bigger. King John agreed to pay for it, which is how most bad decisions happen. Go in good boots and better humour, trust me.

Holy well in Cloon and CommonsHoly well · 349 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy well in Cloon And Commons is perched above the Shannon, probably listening to the local sheep complain about the grass quality. It’s next to some church ruins that are doing their best impression of mystery. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Cross-inscribed stone in Cloon and CommonsCross-inscribed stone · 351 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross-inscribed stone in Cloon And Commons has been built into a ruined church wall for ages. The seagulls say it looks like a very old shopping list. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

O'Briensbridge Old Barge LoopWalking route · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom O'Briensbridge Old Barge Loop in County Clare sounds like it follows an old boat path! Canals and water, lovely. Watch out for ducks with attitude!
Lough Derg WayWalking route · 2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lough Derg Way in County Clare runs along the lake. Peaceful stuff, probably herons standing on one leg. Don't scare them with your loud talking!
