Kilfenora

The Kilfenora Cathedral is another lesser-known treasure of County Clare. Last year we drove past it without looking inside. This year, we didn't make the same mistake. The cathedral has 4 high crosses and many other impressive carvings. Part of this 12th century cathedral is still in use.

Doolin

Doolin is located on the coast of County Clare and is renowned for traditional Irish music that can be heard almost every evening in the town's three pubs.

Clonmacnois

Clonmacnois is Ireland's most impressive early monastic site. Situated on the banks of the river Shannon, the location is peaceful and tranquil. Clomacnois is home to some of Ireland's most famous high crosses. The monastery dates back to the 7th century. Additional pictures and information can be seen on the page for our trip the previous year .
