Doolin with its traditional music pubs and the Aran Islands ferry is also only a short car drive away, as is the Burren region with its unique flora, caves, historical monuments and walking trails.


The Cliffs of Moher
The famous Cliffs of Moher stand facing the Atlantic ocean a short distance north. They are very impressive at over 200 mtrs high, and give visitors a good view over Galway Bay and the Aran Islands. O'Brien's Tower stands guard at one end and Hag's Head is situated at the southern end. The cliffs are home to numerous seabirds, including gannets, razorbills guillemots and puffins, and the area is a birdwatcher's paradise.
Liscannor
This small fishing village has a picturesque harbour, many shops, cafes and restaurants. Sights include a medieval church and the remains of a castle.Boats leave from that harbour for round trips to the Cliffs of Moher thus giving you a chance to see the 200m high cliffs from the sea.
Lahinch
This popular holiday resort is just 3 km from Liscannor. It is noted for its beach and even more for its championship links and 18-hole golf course. An indoor pool and aquarium is just beside the seaside promenade.
Doolin
or 'Fisher Street' as it was known is a great fishing village. It has long been associated with great Irish music sessions, and was home to a great traditional Irish whistle player, the late Micko Russell.
The Burren
are about 500 sq.kms of lunar-like limestone landscape and surely one of the wonders of this world. Its apparent bareness nurtures an internationally famous flora. Man has left a mass of evidence of having lived on the Burren for thousands of years. Material remains abound, including megalithic tombs, stone and earth ring forts, round towers, medieval churches, monasteries and castles. Burials took place in Poulnabrone and other dolmens over a period of 600 years from 5200 to 5800 years ago. The Bur ren coastline shows a dramatic and picturesque mixture of stone, beaches and a crystal clear blue Atlantic ocean. The Aran Islands are an extension of the Burren landscape. There are numerous caves, two of which, Ailwee Cave and Doolin Cave ;are open to visitors. The Burren are great for walking and hiking.
