Doolin Cave
See one of the largest free-hanging stalactites in the world at Doolin Cave. J.M. Dickenson and Brian Varley, members of an English caving club, discovered the limestone cave in 1952. After negotiations with the Speleological Union of Ireland, the site opened to the public in 2006. Today you can step into the cave and marvel at the 7.3 m (24 ft) Great Stalactite. Walk the long passageways of the cave, officially named Pol an Ionain, and experience one of Ireland's natural wonders.

Had a very unique experience by seeing world's largest free-hanging stalactite. Nice coffee shop is located inside and ample parking. Clean toilets. Entry ticket is bit expensive as€17 per person.
