Clare - Gem of Ireland’s West
When most think of Ireland, the immediate locations that spring to mind are of course Dublin, Cork and maybe to a lesser extent Galway. However, while such towns and cities have their own exquisite charms, those looking for a taste of the real Ireland may do well consider a few alternatives. If the idea of taking a step back in time and experiencing a living postcard, County Clare holds more treasures than the proverbial stick can be shaken at.
Beginning with the true home and heart of Irish music, Doolin is village of essentially a single narrow road, a scattering of residences and three or four local pubs. There is simply no place on earth more perfect to see an achingly wonderful stereotype brought to life, as each place bursts into life every night with the best music, laughter and ‘craic'to be found anywhere in the country which is nothing less than spellbinding.
Moving a little further south is Lahinch, where Ireland meets the Atlantic in the most spectacular though charmingly quaint of fashion. This is your typical British-esque seaside resort where nothing has been lost for hundreds of years. On the journey from Doolin, take in the Cliffs of Moher, Europe’s highest for one of the best displays of the power of nature in the world today.
Lastly, no trip here would be complete without a wander around the Burren coastline, where landscapes more akin to far off planets regularly show the hybrid cars UK travellers bring over exactly why the tractor reigns supreme on the Emerald Isle! Brave the terrain and the reward is a truly unique and awe-inspiring ancient landscape.
