ArmsteadHouse · 1096 ydExplorer Tom Armstead in Ardnacullia North has timber shopfronts inserted around 1900, which makes it look like it’s trying to sell something but forgot what. It’s disused now, so it’s just brooding with its lined-and-ruled walls. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Blake and LinnaneHouse · 1124 ydExplorer Tom Blake and Linnane in Ennistimon had a poet fall in the ditch nearby in 1830, or so the rumours go. The shopfronts are gone now, but the building still looks like it’s judging your outfit choices from behind its sashes. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Famine MemorialMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Famine Memorial stands as a solemn reminder of the past, honoring the victims of Ireland's great tragedy in County Clare.
Dough CastleRuins · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Dough Castle is a former tower house situated on a rocky knoll above the River Inagh, close to O'Brien's Bridge.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Castle in Dough is sitting on sand dunes next to a golf course. I bet the caddies used it as a locker room back in the day. Mind the nettles, because they are definitely the real guards here and they bite.
Lahinch BeachBeach / strand · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Lahinch Beach lies near Lehinch, offering a classic Irish coastal scene that has captured many photographers’ hearts.
High CrossVisitor attraction · 5.1 miExplorer Tom High Cross has me thinking it’s the same as the other High Cross, but I’m still confused.
Burren Centre KilfenoraVisitor information · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Burren Centre Kilfenora is a haven for those seeking the beauty of the Burren in County Clare
Graveyard5.1 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kilfenora wraps around the cathedral with a rubble wall. There's a fairy dispute over parking rights at the gate that has gone on for years. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Cathedral (in ruins)Cathedral · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Cathedral in Kilfenora has been a diocese since 1152 and still won't fall down. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice at ignoring modern property disputes.
Liscannor BayBay · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Liscannor Bay curves gently around here, a place where the water meets the land in a quiet, welcoming embrace for visitors.
SlievecallanMountain / peak · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Slievecallan, a mountain that’s as rugged as the winter landscape it’s dressed in during January.
