Explorer Tom Caherlean is a fairy fort with zero info, so I made up a backstory about dancing. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Saint Senan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Saint Senan's Catholic Church in Carrowblough Beg is an 1870 church with projecting confessionals that look like little side rooms for secrets. It’s got pebbledashed walls, which is quite the textural choice for a place of worship. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Doonmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Doonmore Castle is destroyed but still taking up space in my head like a bad memory. It was nearly sold for a horse, which honestly seems fair given the condition. Go in good boots and better humour.
Doonmore CastleRuins · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Doonmore Castle is recorded as ruins in County Clare, part of the Castles of Munster: Doonmore, Clare.
bridge3.1 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Doonbeg has a dog in charge who barks at any car that honks too loud. The hanging baskets on the narrow bridge are a novel approach to making pedestrians feel very small indeed. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Doughmore BeachBeach / strand · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Doughmore Beach offers great surf but shifting sands, so keep an eye out if you’re brave enough to paddle.
George's HeadHeadland · 4.6 miExplorer Tom George's Head sits by Moore Bay in Kilkee, a spot where history and sea meet on this stretch of coast.
Mutton IslandIsland · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Mutton Island! A small island with a name that sounds like it could be part of a royal lineage, what secrets does it keep in County Clare?
Kilkee CliffsViewpoint · 5.9 miExplorer Tom Kilkee Cliffs has me imagining cliffs that are more about the view than the actual rock formations
Lurga PointHeadland · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Lurga Point stretches boldly toward Mutton Island, where the rocky reef meets the ocean in a splashy, wild embrace.

IllaunawhillaIslet · 6.1 miExplorer Tom Illaunbeg, you're a quiet islet. I wonder if there's anything special about your rocky terrain.
Seafield North BeachBeach / strand · 6.3 miExplorer Tom Seafield North Beach gives views of Seafield harbour and Mutton Island in the distance, perfect for a wander.
