CairnCairn, unclassified · 457 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Glencolumbkille North and Killeenmacoog South is a grassy lump with three kerbstones peeking out. It looks like it needs a haircut badly. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a very tired castle.
Turloughmore MountainMountain / peak · 499 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Turloughmore Mountain, a rugged sentinel of County Clare, stands tall with a history as old as the hills themselves.
Fulacht fia in Cappagh (burren By.)Fulacht fia · 603 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Cappagh is basically a stone horseshoe that forgot how to close its mouth properly. It sits by a spring, probably gossiping with the water all day long. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse ones for centuries.
Field boundary in BouleevinField boundary · 849 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field boundary in Bouleevin just wants to be left alone on its hilltop. Bring your own legend, I've run out of them for this one, sorry.
BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 1128 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Glencolumbkille North looks like a bell that got squashed by a very angry cow. A wall runs right through the middle, which is rude. Toast it with a cuppa and move along, love.

Cappagh CastleCastle · 1400 ydExplorer Tom Cappagh Castle rises as a tall stone ruin in open rocky grassland, standing firm under the cloudy sky of County Clare.
Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop yellowWalking route · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop yellow is doing that thing where it looks easy but isn't. Probably full of sheep with attitude. Don't let them bully you off the trail, mate.
Burren National ParkNature reserve · 1.7 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.
Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop redWalking route · 1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop red is screaming at you to walk it. I reckon the red means danger, or maybe just embarrassment. Keep your eyes peeled for anything suspiciously shiny.
Tulla ParkFarm house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Tulla Park is a thatched farmhouse that looks like it just stepped out of a cottage core Pinterest board. If it went to a chipper, it’d order extra gravy and a side of tradition. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Saint Columba's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Saint Columba's Catholic Church in Crughwill is basically the village's living room, just with better lighting and more judgmental stares. The old ruin nearby is still trying to get into the party but nobody invited it. Hum something sad nearby; it adds atmosphere for the dramatics.
Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Castle in ruins near Carran Turlough is secretly proud of the potato growing next to its foundation because the castle is doing worse. It controls a routeway but mostly just controls your sense of direction. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
