Explorer Tom Cloondooan Castle in Rockvale sits on a rocky ridge like it’s waiting for someone to lose a bet there. It overlooks Lough Bunny, which sounds like a dog that hasn’t been bathed since 1900. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
All Saints' Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom All Saints' Catholic Church in Kylecreen added a lean-to bay in 1995, so it’s got one foot in the 1800s and one in the late 20th century. It’s proud of its pointed arch, which is doing all the heavy lifting. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Explorer Tom Fiddaun Castle hosted a dance that went way too far, ending in a six-storey tower house being partially restored because someone spilled wine on the bogland. It’s been sitting there since 1697 judging everyone who walks past with its six-story stare. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Explorer Tom Cloghans or Round Tower in Kilmacduagh is playing hide-and-seek with me. It was breached and restored, but I suspect it’s just shy. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted. It might be.
Kilmacduagh MonasteryHeritage attraction · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Church of St. John the Baptist at Kilmacduagh claims a fiddler played there all night until sunrise. He probably just got lost in the chancel arch, which is oddly fancy for such an old spot. Visit, then text me what you think; I'll pretend to read it.

Burren National ParkNature reserve · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Burren National Park is a landscape like no other, with its rocky karst terrain stretching out under the wide, open sky of County Clare.
Explorer Tom Mullagh More, a limestone hill in County Clare that's as hardy as the people who live there.
