Explorer Tom Enclosure in Cloonanass gave up meat for Lent and just ate dirt for a whole month. It’s a mysterious hole that probably regrets its life choices. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 684 ydExplorer Tom Mountcashel is perched on a rocky outcrop, supposedly built by Conor na Srone O'Brien. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did, especially with that doorway hidden by trees.
Walton LodgeHouse · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Walton Lodge in Ballysheen Beg has been around since 1750, so it’s seen more dances than you have had coffees. I bet the last one ended with someone losing a shoe in the garden. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Mount Ievers CourtCountry house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Mount Ievers Court in Mountievers is a Georgian house built between 1733 and 1737 by John Rothery, who sadly died in 1736 but left his mark. It’s got red brick walls on the south side and cut-limestone on the north, which is a nice touch of contrast. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
Ballycullen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Ballycullen Castle in Ballycullen would teach history by showing off its secret room instead of lecturing. It’s got a hidden space you have to climb into, which is very dramatic for a castle. Tell me if the gossip I just made up about its celebrity crush is actually true.
Mass RockMemorial · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Mass Rock: a sacred stone that holds the echoes of faith and tradition in County Clare
CraggaunowenNationally known place · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Craggaunowen in County Clare is a living past experience that refuses to let go of history like a drunk uncle at a party. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Cratloe WoodsForest · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Cratloe Woods in County Clare offers many crossing paths managed by Coillte, perfect for getting delightfully lost among the trees.
Cloghleagh RockNamed rock · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Cloghleagh Rock is a named rock in County Clare, likely standing proud against the crashing Atlantic tides.
Sweet Chestnut4.7 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut hiding a scandal from centuries ago that nobody has bothered to ask about yet. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Mooghaun HillfortArchaeological place · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Mooghaun Hillfort: an ancient stronghold where history and nature stand as one
Graveyard5.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Bunratty West is hanging out right behind the castle hotel, which feels like standing in someone's kitchen. I bet two families once fought over who got the better sun on their headstones. Look up, because the best gossip is always above your eye level.
