Explorer Tom This Enclosure in Doolin sits on a slope with big stones that look like they’re taking a nap. The wall is random-coursed, which means 'we were tired and rushed.' A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about nothing.
Court tomb in TeergoneanCourt tomb · 603 ydExplorer Tom Court tomb in Teergonean has two chambers and zero chill, sitting in that limestone hollow like it’s judging your hiking boots. It looks like a fancy stone house for ghosts who like privacy. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1254 ydExplorer Tom Doonmacfelim Castle was built on a mound because the builder had zero imagination. It changed hands so often it probably forgot its own name. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
bridge1349 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Doolin has twelve spans and some concrete patches, looking like it’s had a few makeovers since 1775. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Doolin PointHeadland · 1413 ydExplorer Tom Doolin Point features a limestone platform in County Clare, where Atlantic waves crash energetically against the rock face.
Doolin FerriesHeritage attraction · 1454 ydExplorer Tom Doolin Ferries is a living testament to tradition, with views of the Cliffs of Moher that capture the spirit of County Clare.
Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin PierVisitor information · 1457 ydExplorer Tom Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin Pier has me imagining a place where the pier is as long as the tide
Roadford BridgeBridge · 1576 ydExplorer Tom Roadford Bridge has six arches, which is a lot of effort for something you just walk across. Built in 1810, it’s probably tired of carrying cars instead of horses. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from drunk farmers since the Victorian era.
Ballaghaline PointHeadland · 1715 ydExplorer Tom Ballaghaline Point looks out toward Crab Island and Inisheer from this headland, framing a lovely view across the water.
Crab IslandIslet · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Crab Island, an islet in County Clare, is a bit of a wild spot with a long, rocky shoreline.
Doonagore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Doonagore Castle in ruins is playing hard to get in County Clare. I reckon a ghost lives there now and eats all the mail. Bring your own biscuits, because the locals definitely hoard them.
Doolin CaveCave · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
