Foynes Island ViewpointViewpoint · 115 ydArdanoir HouseHouse · 208 yd

Explorer Tom Ardanoir House has a secret talent for looking very important while actually doing absolutely nothing at all. It used to host poets who definitely got drunk. Great spot to propose. Or at least to pause.

The Mill HouseMiller's house, mill (water) · 218 yd

Explorer Tom The Mill House in Leahys is suspicious of every postman who ever dared to knock on its limestone walls. Built for a Lord, it still expects tea and scones even though the mill has been silent for decades. Hum something sad nearby, and it might share a secret about the water flow.

Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime MuseumMuseum · 407 ydFulacht fia in Foynes IslandFulacht fia · 887 yd

Explorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Foynes Island saw a terrible love story end right next to it, involving a goat and a fence post. The ashes are still judging your life choices. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

Monterey Cypress1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Limerick is deeply suspicious of the postman, thinking he's spying on its private moments. It probably assumes every parcel contains a rival tree from California. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Dysert Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Dysert Castle is looking particularly smug today. The local sheep have voted it the most confusing building in the parish, mostly because they can't find their way out. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Peadar Mac Fhlannchadha Memorial is a quiet tribute to a poet’s legacy, etched into the heart of County Clare’s heritage.

Ardagh FortArchaeological place · 8.5 miClonderalaw BayBay · 8.8 mi

Explorer Tom Clonderalaw Bay offers a gentle curve of water in County Clare, perfect for spotting seabirds from the shore.

Lawson's Cypress12 mi

Explorer Tom Lawson's Cypress in County Limerick would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still and looking unappealing. The undead would get confused about whether it was food or furniture. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
