8 days in The Burren Itinerary

A world-famous center of traditional Irish music, Doolin occupies a dramatic location on Ireland's windblown Atlantic coast.

Venture out of the city with trips to Burren National Park (Father Ted's House & Lough Avalla Farm Looped Walk), Corofin (Burren National Park & The Farmyard) and Ballyvaughan (Burren College of Art, Bishop's Quarter, &more). There's lots more to do: hike along Clare Coastal Walk Project, steep yourself in history at Caherconnell Stone Fort & Sheepdog Demonstrations, examine the collection at Clare Heritage and Genealogical Centre, and play a few rounds at Doolin Pitch & Putt.

To see where to stay, traveler tips, maps, and more tourist information, refer to the Doolin trip itinerary planning app.
