Attyflin HouseCountry house · 335 ydExplorer Tom Attyflin House hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can prove ever happened, but the coat of arms swears it did. It’s birthplace of an antiquarian, so it probably knows more secrets than you. Best enjoyed with a suspiciously large glass of wine and low expectations.

Ballinveala Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ballinveala Castle nearly got famous when someone almost found it but looked in the wrong field. It’s four stories of brickwork pretending to be taller than it actually is. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Fanningstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Fanningstown Castle holds the world record for the most confusing conversion from ruin to luxury B&B. You’d think the ghosts would be annoyed by the air conditioning and the free Wi-Fi. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
European ash3.9 miExplorer Tom European ash is thinking about what the builder was really thinking when they planted it here. It stands quietly in County Limerick, waiting for someone to notice its impressive height. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Graveyard8.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Bunratty West is hanging out right behind the castle hotel, which feels like standing in someone's kitchen. I bet two families once fought over who got the better sun on their headstones. Look up, because the best gossip is always above your eye level.
Sweet Chestnut9.1 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut hiding a scandal from centuries ago that nobody has bothered to ask about yet. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 9.2 miExplorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
Pan Am Flight 1-10Aviation accident · 12 miExplorer Tom Pan Am Flight 1-10 in County Clare took a shortcut that wasn't one. It’s a classic mistake. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
