Holiday cottages in County Clare, west Ireland
The 700 foot high Cliffs of Moher are sure to impress. Don’t go if you suffer from vertigo – you’ll find them terrifying, but for everyone else, the view from the top of the Atlantic Ocean pounding away at the rock beneath your feet, is simply amazing. Clare is also home to the much loved ruins of 15 th century Quin Abbey with its bloody history on the Limerick to Galway route, and the essential, but less loved, Shannon Airport where you’re likely to arrive. If you’re into fishing; head to the east of Clare where you will find a host of small lakes, with fish just waiting to be caught. Do pay a visit to the county town of Ennis and wander the narrow winding streets in search of real Irish food, drink and experiences. The brave may want to watch some hurling or Gaelic football, or perhaps soak in Irish history and culture in the castle, cathedral and museum. But if you would prefer to just eat, drink and be merry, there is an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants for your own personal itinerary, whether it be pub crawl or gourmet extravaganza. |



County Clare on the west of Ireland is especially scenic, so if you get all excited by great views, and cannot wait to get that camera snapping, this part of Ireland is guaranteed to enthrall.
