#3 Doolin Cave - 1.5 hours from Limerick
One of Irelands best kept secrets, Doolin Cave is so magnificent yet so underrated, its almost a tragedy. The only explanation is that the pictures don't do it justice. Located in the small traditional village of Doolin, the cave is home to an enormous Stalactite that hangs vertically from a limestone ceiling and looks to defy gravity with it's apparent weightlessness. This naturally formed gigantic hanging rock is thousands of years old and is breathtaking to behold. Leave it out of your travel plans at your own loss. As Europe's biggest Stalactite and the worlds 3rd biggest, it should be on everyone's list of travel plans if they visit this region.

Home to the Red Bull cliff diving Championships, The Aran Islands are located off the coast of Co. Clare and Galway and consist of 3 beautiful Islands with unique topography and scenery to die for. Accessible by boat from Galway or from Doolin in Co.Clare, we highly recommended a visit if you wish to experience some great sea food, beautiful scenery, secluded beaches and friendly Irish locals. As one the Gaeltacht Regions of Ireland you will hear the melodic Irish language being spoken by the locals as you take in the fresh sea air and natural surroundings.
