Explorer Tom Ailladie stands tall as a cliff in County Clare, perfect for spotting climbers scaling its impressive middle sectors today.
Explorer Tom Ballyryan is a lovely limestone cliff in County Clare, just right for quick, sunny climbs with friends on a nice day.
Ballinalacken CastleHouse · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Ballinalacken Castle in Ballynalackan is playing dress-up, swapping castle vibes for hotel chic with its new wing. It looks like it’s trying too hard to impress the tourists. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Grave YardGraveyard · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Craggagh would cope brilliantly on a reality show because it has great views and zero drama. St. Onchon built it ages ago and left it to rot stylishly. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
FaunarooskaCave · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
Explorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
Faunarooska Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 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.
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.
Fanore BeachVisitor information · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Fanore Beach has me checking if the rain is just a metaphor for the mood I'm in
Corpus Christi Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 3.6 miExplorer 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 · 3.9 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.
Explorer 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.
