The Burren
The Burren is in the North of
County Clare in the West of Ireland. It covers an area of over 350
square kilometers. It is bounded in the north by Galway Bay, in
the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the south by a line across the
villages of Doolin and Kilfenora, and finally in the east by the
Gort lowlands.
‘The Burren’ is an anglicisation of the Gaelic term ‘An Bhoireann’
which means “a stony place”.

The
Cliffs of Moher
Otherwise known as The Great Wall of Thomond, drop a sheer 700ft. into the Atlantic. They
stretch a distance of over 7 miles from Hag’s Head to
Doolin, on the ragged north west coast of County Clare. |

Aillwee Cave
Aillwee Cave is so much more than just another cave. It is an
introduction to the geology of the Burren. A fun day out packed
full of exciting things to do.
With its
stalactites, stalagmites, relics of bears, and a waterfall, the
superb Aillwee Cave has become one of Ireland’s leading
attractions. An essential part of any tour to the Burren. |

The Aran Islands
The legendary Aran Islands, a
testimony to man's triumph over the elements, lie just five miles
off the coast of Co. Clare. There are three islands in the group,
Inismore, Inismaan and Inisheer all serviced by ferry from Doolin
in Co. Clare. These bastions of ancient Irish culture have bred a
hardy breed of fisherman and farmers whose roots go back way
before recorded history and who still speak Gaelic. |
