About Doolin:
Located on the edge of the historic Burren in northwest County Clare, along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, and within easy reach of the majestic Cliffs of Moher and the glorious Aran Islands, Doolin’s dramatic landscape and unrivalled scenery are what you might expect to see in an epic Hollywood movie. Luckily enough, Doolin is as real as it gets. As well as a great base for exploring the region, Doolin is widely regarded as the home of traditional Irish music, with plenty of music and events to experience every night in the local pubs and venues throughout the village - ‘craic agus ceol’ is aplenty in this Irish coastal village. Take a clifftop walk, breathing in the crisp, salty Atlantic air while appreciating the beautiful wildflowers, explore the rugged landscape where land and sea collide, or embark on an Atlantic cruise to appreciate the unique coastline from a different perspective.
The village itself is a vibrant place full of characters, stories and experiences, and is home to some of the region’s best accommodation, eateries, activities, local craft shops, and of course, warm welcomes.
