Welcome to County Clare

Located on the west coast of Ireland, Clare is home to the Burren, the cliffs of Moher and is a jumping off point for the Aran Islands. 

County Clare has at least 2,300 earthen and stone forts, 130 megalithic tombs, 190 castles, 150 ancient churches, 3 cathedrals, 8 monasteries, 10 stone crosses, 5 round towers, besides numerous lesser monuments.

John Lloyd said of County Clare in 1780, "From its agreeable situation, the climate is remarkably wholesome, the air clear and temperate, and the prospect pure and delightful." Little has happened during the past two centuries to change this description. County Clare today is a place of great natural beauty and historical and archaeological interest while offering a range of amenities to suit all tastes.
