DESTINATION GUIDE: Ireland’s county Clare

County Clare, on Ireland’s west coast along the Wild Atlantic Way, is a treasure trove of dramatic landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cultural traditions, often referred to as the “Banner County” for its spirited heritage. Visitors in 2026 can expect a blend of iconic natural wonders, immersive cultural experiences, and lesser-known gems, with new developments enhancing the county’s appeal as a sustainable and authentic destination. Clare is Ireland’s eighth largest county by size (3,188 square km) and 19th largest by population (127,938). Clare’s compact size, roughly 80 miles end-to-end, makes it easy to explore its diverse landscapes, from the lunar-like Burren to golden beaches, rolling hills, and the mighty River Shannon.

Practical Tips for Visitors

Best Time to Visit: April–May for Burren wildflowers and fewer crowds; June–August for warm weather (15–20°C) and festivals; September–October for autumn colors and the Matchmaking Festival. Winter (December–February) is quiet but wet, ideal for pub sessions.
Accommodation: Book early for summer festivals and the Slow Food Clare Festival. Options include Dromoland Castle Hotel (luxury, €300+/night), Armada Hotel in Spanish Point (eco-conscious, €150–€200), or B&Bs like Homestead Cottage in Doolin. Glamping and camping are available in Fanore and Kilkee.
Local Cuisine: Try soda bread, Irish stew, or boxty at restaurants like Barrtrá or Oar Doolin. Sample smoked salmon at Burren Smokehouse or chocolates at Wilde Irish Chocolates.
Safety: Clare is safe, but heed weather warnings on the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk, avoiding unpaved cliff edges. Rural roads are narrow; drive cautiously.
Language: English is universal, with Irish spoken on the offshore Aran Islands (in county Galway). Pubs in Doolin and Ennis offer trad music workshops.
Transportation: Renting a car is ideal for exploring remote areas like Loop Head or St. Mullins, as public buses are limited outside Ennis and Shannon. The new Brian Boru Bridge improves access to East Clare, but check ferry schedules for Scattery Island. Bikes are great for flat routes like the Burren Discovery Trail.
Seasonal Considerations: Summer (June–August) offers warm weather and festivals like the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival (September), but spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are quieter with vibrant wildflowers and mild hiking conditions. Winter is budget-friendly, with dramatic coastal views.
Local Culture: Immerse yourself in Clare’s music scene at pubs like The Ivy Cottage in Doolin or Eugene’s in Ennistymon, where Father Ted was filmed. Respect the environment by sticking to marked trails in the Burren to protect rare flora. Try local specialties like Burren Gold Cheese or fresh mussels.
Preparation: Pack waterproof clothing and sturdy boots, as Clare’s weather is unpredictable, especially on coastal trails. Download offline maps for remote areas like Slieve Gullion, and book guided tours or festival tickets in advance via Visit Clare (visitclare.ie).

Off the Beaten Path:

County Clare, located along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, ancient history, and vibrant traditional music scene. While iconic sites like the Cliffs of Moher and Bunratty Castle draw crowds, Clare is rich with lesser-known, off-the-beaten-track locations that offer solitude, authentic cultural experiences, and unspoiled natural beauty. Here are some hidden gems in County Clare that provide unique, less touristy adventures, perfect for travelers seeking to explore beyond the main attractions.

Loop Head Peninsula – Kilbaha Cliffs and Bridges of Ross: At the southwestern tip of Clare, the Loop Head Peninsula is a remote, windswept haven with dramatic coastal scenery. The Kilbaha Cliffs, near the tiny village of Kilbaha, offer rugged views of the Atlantic, often with fewer visitors than the Cliffs of Moher. Nearby, the Bridges of Ross, a natural sea arch carved by waves, is a striking geological feature perfect for photographers. The peninsula’s quiet trails and lighthouses, like the historic Loop Head Lighthouse, add to its wild charm. Far from major tourist routes, Loop Head sees mostly locals and dedicated explorers, offering a peaceful alternative to busier coastal sites. A 1-hour drive from Lahinch or 1.5 hours from Ennis via the N67 and R487. Park near Kilbaha village or the Bridges of Ross car park; trails are short (1–2km) but can be windy.

The island’s Viking history and tales of St. Senan’s battle with a mythical serpent add intrigue. Guided boat tours offer historical insights and chances to spot bottlenose dolphins. Accessible only by boat and lacking facilities, Scattery Island attracts few visitors, providing a tranquil escape steeped in history. A 30-minute ferry from Kilrush Marina (book via Scattery Island Tours, May–September). The island is a 1–2-hour walking exploration, with guided or self-guided options. Visit in summer for calm seas, and wear sturdy shoes for uneven paths. Bring a picnic, as there are no shops, and check ferry schedules in advance.

It winds through limestone pavements, hazel woodlands, and past ancient ring forts and drystone walls, offering views of the Burren’s unique karst landscape. The trail is quieter than the popular Poulnabrone Dolmen, with opportunities to spot rare orchids and fossils. Less known than the Burren’s main trails, this loop attracts local hikers and nature enthusiasts, ensuring a peaceful experience. A 45-minute drive from Ennis or 15 minutes from Ballyvaughan. Park at the Fanore Beach car park or near the Caher River bridge; the trail is well-marked but requires sturdy boots. Visit in spring for wildflowers or autumn for fewer crowds.

Known mainly to Father Ted fans, this attraction draws a niche crowd, offering a fun, low-key escape from Clare’s busier sites. A 30-minute drive from Ennis or 10 minutes from Corofin. Book tours via the Glenquin Farmhouse website, as visits are by appointment. Combine with a visit to nearby Corofin’s Clare Heritage Centre for a deeper dive into local history, and enjoy a pint at a Father Ted-themed pub for the full experience.
Burren Perfumery: Tucked away in Fahee North near Carron, this small, family-run perfumery crafts organic perfumes, soaps, and candles inspired by the Burren’s flora. Visitors can watch artisans at work, stroll the herb garden, and relax in the tea room with homemade lemonade and apple pie. The surrounding karst landscape and quiet setting make it a sensory retreat. Its remote location and focus on niche craftsmanship attract fewer visitors than larger attractions, offering a personal, tranquil experience. A 40-minute drive from Ennis or 15 minutes from Ballyvaughan. Free parking; open daily May–September, with limited hours in off-season. Visit in summer for blooming gardens, and try the Burren-inspired “Wild Rose” perfume. Book a workshop for hands-on soap-making if available.
Michael Cusack Centre: In Carron, this restored cottage and visitor centre celebrates Michael Cusack, founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), with exhibits on his life during the Great Famine and the GAA’s impact on Irish culture. Set in the Burren’s heart, the centre offers a quiet, educational stop with views of limestone hills and nearby archaeological sites like Cahercommaun stone fort.
