The west of County Clare is truly magical — a place full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered by those who take the time to explore.
Here, nature, tradition, and warm Irish hospitality come together in one of the most beautiful regions Ireland has to offer. While Clare is best known for the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, the county also boasts countless unspoilt places far from the usual tourist trail. Along the Wild Atlantic Way, dramatic natural landscapes define the region — from the towering cliffs of Moher and the unique limestone scenery of the Burren to the spectacular coastal cliffs stretching from Kilkee to Loop Head.
West Clare is also where traditional Irish music has its home. Music is everywhere, you'll find it on one of the many festivals as well as in the lively sessions in the traditional pubs throughout the County, from Doolin in the North to Kilrush in the South [more about traditional music in West Clare...]
