County Clare Holiday Cottages
Just show me County Clare Cottages
There are all kinds of reasons to book a County Clare cottage,
not least for the show-stopping scenery that abounds in every
direction. Top priority goes to the dizzying Cliffs of Moher,
looming above the Atlantic Ocean and stretching along the coast for
five miles. Admire the crashing surf and the breathtaking views of
Galway Bay, the Aran Islands and the Twelve Bens of Connemara.
Next, the extraordinary Burren National Park, a topsy-turvy
wonderland with underground rivers, limestone caves and landscapes
carpeted with flamboyant floral delights. Look out for the ancient
Caherconnell Stone Fort and, if you're into cycling, follow the
Dolmen Cycleway, a remote route crossing this incredibly beautiful
region.
Prefer to explore on foot? Don your boots along the Mid Clare
Way, a scenic path encircling the picturesque town of Ennis. Make
time to visit the town too, awash with character buildings, winding
streets and the Glór Irish Music Centre - a fantastic place to
discover traditional music and dance. Don't miss Bunratty
Castle, a 15th Century masterpiece, or the Bunratty Folk Park.
There's also excellent shopping in the local village, not to
mention the award-winning 'Durty Nelly's' pub and
restaurant.
Enjoy close encounters with bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon
Estuary and join a wildlife tour from Kilrush Creek marina. Or head
to Lahinch for amazing surf and golf, boasting a mile-long
dune-fringed beach and 36 holes of seaside links. Or have a
splashing day out at Lough Derg, a paradise for water sports with
sailing, cruises, windsurfing and more. No doubt, a County Clare
cottage holiday will entertain everyone!
