County Clare Travel Guide

Cliffs, Castles & Coastal Drives
County Clare, part of the historic province of Munster, is located on Ireland’s west coast at the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way. The towering Cliffs of Moher may be the county’s star attraction, but you could spend your entire vacation here and still not run out of things to do.
