1: The Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher are a stunning natural feature and well worth a visit. Standing at 214m at the highest point, they range for 8 kilometers over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of Co. Clare.

O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of majestic Cliffs. With a breathtaking panoramic vista, the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, the Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara, and Loop Head to the South can all be seen. 

2: The Burren

 The Burren, from the Gaelic word Boireann, is an area of limestone rock covering imposing majestic mountains, and tranquil valleys with gently meandering streams making it one of Clare's top attractions. With an almost spiritual peace, an extraordinary array of flora and wildlife, and megalithic tombs and monuments older than Eqypt's pyramids.

The Burren creates a tapestry of colour and a magical aura that few people leave without wanting to experience again. 

3: Craggaunowen

At Craggaunowen - The Living Past, we come to the arrival of the Celts in Ireland. The story is told of how they lived, hunted, and died. See a replica of a Crannóg (Lake Dwelling), a Ring Fort, and "An Iron Age Roadway." Craggaunowan Castle which was built around 1550 is also situated on the grounds. 

A major feature is the "Brendan Boat" built by Tim Severin who sailed from Ireland to Greenland, re-enacting the voyage of St. Brendan, reputed to have discovered America centuries before Columbus.
