Walking Tours
Shannon Region
Trails (Self Guided) Heart of Burren Walks offers half-day and full-day guided tours of some of the more remote and beautiful parts of the Burren in County Clare. They also tailor tours of a particular duration or on a specific theme on request. Once known as "Poor Clare," because of the agrarian nature of this beautiful county, County Clare has become one of the most prosperous areas in Ireland. With the introduction of Shannon Airport in the 1950's, Clare began its long march toward economic success. The wildness is still there, however. You can find it along the rugged coastline from Lisdoonvarna to Kilrush and in most if east Clare. This works well with visiting tourists because it is possible to find broadband capabilities in a number of communities in Clare where there is a library. Clare also has one of the best genealogical centres located in Corofin, just a few miles west of Ennis. Ennis, itself, is off the tourist highway and offers excellent restaurants, shopping and traditional Irish music. An excellent day trip out of Ennis is a visit to the Quin Abbey.
