The majestic Cliffs of Moher are only a 10 minutes drive away and among the most magnificent stretches of cliff scenery in the country. They front the Atlantic to a height of nearly 200m and extend for a distance of 8 km from Hag's Head west of Liscannor towards Doolin. The new cliff walk along the edge is very popular with walkers already [more about walking along in the area...]
The Burren is a region with unique flora & fauna, geological curiosities and many historical remains. It can explored by car but ideally covered on foot using the old "green roads". The Burren Way is a long distance walking track starting in Lahinch and leading along the Cliffs of Moher to Doolin, Ballyvaughan and further on to the Burren National Park.
