East Clare, land of the great king Brian Boru, is a beautiful
landscape of rugged hills, picturesque valleys and meandering
rivers, dotted with woodlands and bog lands.
Scattered with almost 40 lakes, East Clare boast unrivalled
facilities for water skiing, cruising, sail boarding, canoeing,
windsurfing and game and coarse angling.
The Slieve Aughty and SIieve Bearnagh mountains provide excellent
walking or cycling, whilst the many forest trails add to the
pleasure of horse riding.
The wealth of traditional culture is celebrated in summertime
festivals in Mountshannon, Scarriff, Killaloe, Tulla, and Feakle.
Although spontaneous Irish music, song and dance sessions occur
all year round.
Experience the tranquillity of Lough Graney where Brian Merriman
wrote the epic poem "The Midnight Court" and hear the stories of
Biddy Early, a local woman with miraculous powers to heal illness.
