East Clare is one of the hidden treasures of Ireland where visitors still find the peace and tranquility for which the emerald isle is famous. Rolling hills, green fields, unspoilt lakes and streams, endless forests and bogs offer a serene but never
boring scenery - and it is central and not far away from all the major sights in the midwest of Ireland, including Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Bunratty Folkpark, Killaloe as well as Galway, Ennis and Limerick.
