IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 277 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Caherbullog witnessed a love story that ended because one party couldn't find the other's ring. Two forts in one townland means double the drama, always. Go in good boots and better humour.
Architectural fragment in LisheeneaghArchitectural fragment · 683 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom An Architectural fragment in Lisheeneagh is out here judging the rabbits. Apparently they keep building their warrens too close to its personal space. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch while you pretend to care.
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 1191 ydExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.
FaunarooskaCave · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
Faunarooska Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska Castle in Faunarooska is planning its retirement on the slopes of Slieve Elva. It looks like it’s napping with one eye open at the Aran Islands. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 2.9 miExplorer 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.
OughtdarraCliff · 3.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
Explorer Tom Spectacle Bridge in Aughiska Beg is just one big arch over a deep gorge, built around 1850. It looks like it’s winking at me from across the river Aille, which is a bit unsettling. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Explorer Tom Ailladie stands tall as a cliff in County Clare, perfect for spotting climbers scaling its impressive middle sectors today.
Explorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
Laraghakea HillMountain / peak · 5.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Laraghakea Hill, a peak that’s as mysterious as the legends that surround it in County Clare.
Explorer Tom Noughaval Church in Noughaval is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
