Aillwee Cave in County Clare

Aillwee Cave

Located in the heart of the Burren in County Clare. Perched high on its Burren terraced mountain side with what has to be one of the most spectacular views of Galway bay. It is a must for all who find themselves in the area. Let the staff at Aillwee Cave welcome your groups to the dramatic underworld of this area. Expert guides will accompany and inform visitors during their leisurely tour.

The tour consists of a 30 minute stroll through the beautiful caverns – over bridged chasms, underworld formations and alongside the thunderous waterfall which sometimes gently sprays the unsuspecting visitor! Take in its unique cave features and marvel at the frozen waterfall and explore the now extinct brown bears bones (ursos arctos). With its stalactites, stalagmites, relics of bears and waterfalls, the Aillwee Cave, beneath the Burren, has become one of Ireland’s leading caverns.
