A small taste of some of the many local sights

        County Clare is famous for its stunning diverse scenery, with every twist in the road creating yet another fresh view around the bend! We have West Clare with the Wild Atlantic Way which is a strong contrast from East Clare with the beautiful Lough Derg on the Shannon river, North Clare has the rugged Burren National park and the Flaggy shore made famous by Linnan's Lobster bar with a flat but invigorating scenic loop walk, South Clare has the Killkee cliffs on the beautiful Loop head.

      All these places and more create a magnificent backdrop to every holiday, exciting cliff and mountain walks, historic monastery's,castles and beautiful beaches from the sheltered Flaggy shore to the Cliffs of Moher and on to the the spectacular Killkee cliffs and Loop head lighthouse.

The Burren National Park is a unique limestone plateau with stone forts, dolmens and rare plants.
The river Shannon is another wonderful backdrop of castles, hiking paths, boating and other activities while it flows through County Clare.
