Clare Ennis is the gate- way to County Clare. The county is renowned for its natural beauty. The Burren limestone area has many unusual features that make it unique in Europe. Its geology, flora, caves and archaeology set it apart as an area of great beauty and mystery. Ailiwee Cave and the stunning Doolin Cave are certainly worth visiting. The famous Cliffs of Moher stand as 800ft ramparts against the battering of the Atlantic Ocean. They are majestic and offer superb views of the western Irish coastline. Clare has a string of superb beaches within easy reach of Ennis, some sandy and others rocky. The beach at Lahinch is renowned for surfing. Lough Derg, at 32,000 acres, is the largest of the Shannon Lakes. Along its shores are many picturesque villages. The South Clare coast hosts shoals of Dolphins: boats regularly visit them from Carrigaholt and Kilrush. A very popular destination, to the south of Ennis, is Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, Ireland’s most complete and authentic medieval castle. The Folk Park is a fascinating recreation of 19th century rural Ireland. Other attractions worth a visit, outside Ennis and its environs, include the picturesque Burren Perfumery & Floral Centre, the Burren Smokehouse, which has preserved the art of smoking salmon, the beautifully-constructed vandeleur Walled Garden in Kilrush, the stunning and rugged Aran Islands, one of the last outposts of gaelic civilisation and, if you’re researching a local genealogy, the Clare heritage Centre in Corofin.
