The Galway / County Clare / County Clare region
To the north of the county, the rugged Atlantic coast rises nearly 700 feet above the sea in the shape of the Cliffs of Moher. A couple of miles away, you'll find an amazing Karst limestone region called the Burren, which features caves, underground streams and rare alpine flora. The area also has plenty of fascinating archaeological sites, including the 5000-year-old Poulnabrone Dolmen. Why not explore this beautiful area by taking a rail tour?
Charming villages like Doolin, Corofin, Fanore and Ennistymon are famed for their traditional music sessions. Clare is an ideal destination for those in search of the outdoors; sea, lake and river fishing, walking and cycling and of course golfing are all popular activities in the county.
Corofin / Dysart area
Only sixteen kilometres from Ireland's attractive Atlantic coast,the village is the Southern Gateway to the famed Burren region,one of Europe's most distinctive landscapes.
Corofin is situated on the River Fergus ten kilometres from Ennis.The village takes its name from an ancient fording place on the river Fergus,associated in legend with the romantic hero,Fionn Mac Cumhail and his chivalrous warrior band - Ireland's answer to King Arthur and his Knights. The hinterland is known as Clare Lakelands and Lake Inchiquin beside the village-often referred to as the "Killarney of Clare" was the setting for Barker's well known An Angler's Paradise.
The Burren region of Co Clare comprises a unique heritage landscape of international scientific interest. For instance, the lower Burren region centred on Corofin hosts some of the most distinctive native flora as well as the densest distribution of prehistoric tombs to be found anywhere in the country- upwards of twenty wedge tombs in the parish of Corofin alone. The accumulation of stone forts, of which Cahercommaun near Corofin is an outstanding example are important elements in the Western Stone Forts Project in the current Archaeological Discovery Programme.
