CairnCairn, unclassified · 783 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Ballynahown sits on a knoll that looks like it’s about to trip over its own feet. Westropp found it defaced, which just means someone had a bad hair day three hundred years ago. Bring your own legend, I’ve run out of facts.
IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1410 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Ballynalackan has vanished like my will to live, leaving only a rocky ledge and regret. It would tell the new building it’s too young for that. Bring someone who'll believe anything about ghosts.
Ballinalacken CastleCastle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Ballinalacken Castle is a two-stage towerhouse near Doolin, standing as a silent witness to centuries of history in County Clare.
OughtdarraCliff · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
Crumlin Church (in Ruins)Church · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Crumlin Church is officially gone but still hanging around the terrace looking at the Aran Islands. It’s been injured by time and probably hears the waves arguing with each other all night. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Doolin Cave Visitor CentreHeritage attraction · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave Visitor Centre is a gateway to history, where the caves' secrets are revealed through guided tours in County Clare.
Doolin CaveCave · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
Corpus Christi Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.1 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.
FaunarooskaCave · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 2.4 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.
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.
KnockacarnMountain / peak · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockacarn is a rugged presence in the hills, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.
