There are few places more dramatic than the rugged Cliffs of Moher where Atlantic rollers hit the jagged coastline and you can see as far west as the Aran Islands. And yet, Clare keeps delivering: the lunar landscape of the Burren with its deep caves and limestone plateau, ancient Dolmens hinting at Ireland’s ancient past, the charming towns of Kilkee, Lisdoonvarna and Doolin, now a mecca for traditional Irish music, fairytale castles (Dromoland, Bunratty) and quaint country wedding hotels (Gregans), surfing at Lahinch, golf courses galore… Clare spoils.
