A land of mountains, cliffs, caves and sea, County Clare, situated in the North West, consists mainly of limestone and is a haven for botanists and ecologists. Its special rock enables the growth of Alpine plants, of those from the Arctic and the Mediterranean and flora such as mosses and ferns.

Explorers can take a guided tour of the Alwee Caves, deep underground, they can see stalagmite and stalactite and cascading waterfalls. Keen walkers and history lovers can walk along the Burren Way from Ballyvaughn to Lisconnor and see evidence of the Iron and stone ages, monasteries and holy wells. 

An unforgettable experience is a trip on the ferry from Doolin to the Aran Islands where guests can enjoy Irish hospitality at its best including wonderful folk music. Book a place at a banquet at Bunratty Castle and take yourself back in time. Please remember to book in advance for a fantastic medieval feast with some jesters. 

And before you travel on visit the Living Museum at Folk Park Museum, hear some good music, story telling and dance. 

Please remember to wrap up very well if traveling to the Aran Islands as the weather can fluctuate even in summer
