One of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland, Lahinch is one of the most respected links courses in the world. Lahinch, with its towering sand dunes, undulating fairways, rolling greens and fair share of blind shots, is the perfect natural golfing terrain - a true links in the traditional meaning of the word. Known widely, as the St. Andrews of Ireland, Lahinch is a marvelous place.
The Doolin Stalactite:
Doolin Cave is home to a wondrous geological phenomenon - The Great Stalactite. Measuring almost 7 metres in length, it is one of the largest free hanging stalactites in the world and the longest stalactite in the Northern Hemisphere. What makes it even more impressive is the fact that it is held on by a section of calcite, less than 0.3 m square. Visitors to Doolin Cave will experience an unforgettable adventure.
You will become an explorer, donning a hardhat and flashlight as you make your way through the 100 metres long cave. The chamber housing the sparkling Great Stalactite is subtly lit, to highlight its delicate but awesome splendour.
