Ailwee Caves:
Unlike the vast caverns you may have encountered, Aillwee Cave is unique to the geology of the Burren and it enables you to explore a little of what lies under the exciting landscape. This stunning creation of nature was formed by the melt waters of a prehistoric ice age. The cave, carved out of limestone cuts into the heart of the mountain. The story of Aillwee Cave began millions of years ago when streams sinking underground on Aillwee Mountain started dissolving channels through the lines of weakness in the limestone.
Traditional Irish Music:
Any visit to Ireland is incomplete if you do not experience a traditional Irish music session. The art of Irish music has been handed down over the centuries from family to family and it is very strong in the Shannon Region, and in County Clare in particular, the so-called Home of Irish Traditional Music.
Traditional groups play in hundreds of pubs throughout the year, and the festival calendar has a wide range of Fleadhs (music festivals) to choose from.
