County Clare Attractions You should Not Miss
Visiting Ireland is an exciting experience that you must undertake. And, if there is one place that you need to check out, County Clare should be it. This is because it has a wide range of sights that are sure to make your vacation unforgettable. What are some of them?
Cliffs of Moher – It is one of Ireland's most visited sites and is a designated UNESCO Geo Park. On top, you will find the O'Brien's Tower, which marks the highest point of the cliff, as well as a spectacular view of the Aran Islands, Twelve Pins (a sharp-peaked mountain range), and the Maum Turk Moutains.
Aillwee Cave – The name is derived from two words, aill and wee, which means yellow and entrance, respectively. Among all the caverns that were made over the years, because of the water that penetrates the ground that is made of limestone, it is the only one that is safe for viewing.
Bunratty Castle – What makes this a popular tourist attraction is the fact that it is the most authentic and complete medieval fortress, which was restored in 1954. Its contents include 15th and 16th century paintings, furnishings, and tapestries. Aside from that, it is close to the airport, which means you do not have any excuse not to check it out.
Poulnabrone Dolmen – Also known as the “hole of sorrow”, it marks the spot of a tomb that dates back to 2,500 BC. Here, you will not only find remnants, but also other artefacts, including coarse pottery, flint, and two quartz crystals, which are most likely used during the burial rituals.
The list is not all that complete, however. This only means that there are other interesting places that you must see on your holiday at County Clare. And, do not forget to book the right accommodation for a totally enjoyable trip.
