Enclosure in Ballyinsheen MoreEnclosure · 315 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyinsheen More had an escape plan involving a rope made of nettles. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent and moves to London for fame.
Fulacht fia in Ballydonohoe (burren By.)Fulacht fia · 398 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballydonohoe had a fiddler playing there all night until the stones started tapping along. It’s just a big bank with no burnt stone evidence to prove it worked. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Corpus Christi Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1179 ydExplorer Tom Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Rathbaun is trying very hard to look important with its tower and spire. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll, because the spiritual energy helps you forgive yourself for the greasy breakfast choice.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 1310 ydExplorer Tom Site of Lisdoonvarna Castle would be a total disaster on a reality show, probably losing its footing in episode one. It’s a bit of a mess now, but ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Royal Spa HotelHotel · 1344 ydExplorer Tom Royal Spa Hotel has a carriage arch from when horses were the only way to get drunk in Rathbaun. It’s been renovated since, so now it’s just expensive and slightly damp. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes while you pretend you’re royalty.
Children's playground1591 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Clare, this one unknown in terms of access, but I suspect it’s a hidden gem waiting to be explored.
Laraghakea HillMountain / peak · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Laraghakea Hill, a peak that’s as mysterious as the legends that surround it in County Clare.
OughtdarraCliff · 3.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
Smithstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Smithstown Castle on a rocky outcrop is officially gone, but I swear it’s just napping. It thinks Dublin tourists are loud and smell like overpriced coffee. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug, even if you're standing in mud.
BallyryanCliff · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Ballyryan is a lovely limestone cliff in County Clare, just right for quick, sunny climbs with friends on a nice day.
High CrossHeritage attraction · 4.3 miExplorer Tom High Cross: an ancient landmark where faith and heritage stand tall in County Clare
