County Clare is well renowned for its natural beauty, for traditional Irish music and for the hospitality of the people. Our house is ideally located centrally to all the sights the county has to offer:
Ennis offers picturesque streets with colourful shop fronts, the well preserved cloister ruin of Ennis Friary, the Glor Irish Music centre and the Clare Museum - all well worth a visit. A variety of traditional pubs provide evening entertainment.
Bunratty Castle and Folk Park gives an insight into Irish living in medieval and 19th century times. Knappogue Castle is surrounded by a beautiful Victorian walled garden.
Medieval dinners are held in both castles.
Quin Abbey is the best preserved abbey in Ireland's Mid-West region.
Craggaunowen features a reconstructed Iron Age lake-dwelling as well as Ring Forts in a quiet woodland setting.
The unusual Burren limestone area as well as the Cliffs of Moher can easily be reached from our house.
The Loop Head Peninsula in the little known West Clare area has one of the most breath taking cliff sceneries of Ireland.
