The Cliffs of Moher and the West of County Clare

Liscannor harbour
Liscannor (5 mins.)
This small fishing village has a picturesque harbour, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants.

A headstone was presented to the town by the US Navy and can be viewed at the harbour.

The Cliffs of Moher (2 mins.)
The world renowned Cliffs of Moher are only minutes away. At 700 feet (213 metres) the Cliffs of Moher stretch south for nearly five miles (8km) between Doolin and Hags head. With its breath-taking views once you visit you will see why it remains one of Ireland's most popular tourist attractions. Walk along the clifftop (read more about the Moher Walk on the next page), visit the multimedia presentation in the visitor center or experience the cliffs from the sea on the boat which departs from the local piers at Liscannor and Doolin on regular trips.

Lahinch (10 mins.)

Lahinch has a one mile stretch of beach the is popular with families and surfers alike. It is also noted for two famous golf courses: The Links Course, on which the South of Ireland Golf Championship is played annually in the Summer and the 18-hole Castle Course. Lahinch offers a variety of pubs, cafés and restaurants, shops and an art gallery.
Fisherstreet Doolin
Doolin Village (10 mins.)
Doolin is renowned as the traditional music capital of Ireland. Its lively pubs have music sessions nearly every night. Doolin is also the gateway to the Aran Islands.

The Aran Islands
These three stunningly beautiful islands are an off shore extension of the Burren and are one of the last out-posts of Gaelic civilisation where Irish is still the native language of their inhabitants. The islanders traditionally made their living from fishing. While the men were out fishing the women knitted the traditional 'Aran Ganseys'. Boats leave several times daily from Doolin Pier.
Poulnabrone Dolmen
The Burren
The Burren, a great rocky expanse in County Clare, is one of the world's truly unique places in that it can supports Arctic, Mediterranean and Alpine plants side-by-side. Its ancient, awe inspiring stone structures hold secrets from the past that may never be unravelled. The area hosts 70 wedge-tombs (the most famous of them being Poulnabrone Dolmen), ring forts, caves (most notable Aillwee & Doolin Cave), castles (Leamenagh Castle) and a network of field walls and hut circles. The Burren Display centre in Kilfenora (20 mins.) provides an insight into the mysteries of the region and should be your first stop on your trip.

Loop Head Peninsula
This peninsula in the south of County Clare is bordered by the Atlantic and the Shannon estuary and offers a fantastic rugged coastline on the seaside, small beaches and green hills on the Shannon side. Popular are dolphin watching tours with a very good chance to experience the dolphin families living in the estuary. More about Loop Head on the next page!
