If you are exploring County Clare and want a day out that mixes adventure, wildlife and local food, the Aillwee Burren Experience near Ballyvaughan packs all three into one visit.
Go under the Burren
The centrepiece is a guided 45-minute cave tour that leads you into the hidden underworld of the Burren. Accompanied by a guide, you walk through varied and beautifully lit chambers filled with weird and wonderful fossils and rock formations — an immersive look at a landscape that was carved out over millions of years.
Birds of prey up close
Back above ground, the Birds of Prey Centre is home to a collection of raptors, with daily interactive flying displays. It is a rare chance to appreciate the silent, majestic hunters up close and to learn about falconry — an art recognised by UNESCO as living cultural heritage.
Farm shop and local produce
Before you leave, stop by the farm shop for local produce — a good opportunity to bring a taste of the Burren home with you.
