The town is a focal point of North Clare. Situated
4 miles from the sea and is Ireland's only operating Spa, famous
for its sulphur, iron, magnesia and copperas mineral springs.
The Spa -
Lisdoonvarna's Spa Wells Health Centre is only five minutes
walk from the Town. Retaining it's Victorian character, it has been
an attraction for over 100 years to people from all over the world,
looking to relax in the invigorating spa waters. It is open from
June until September and I would strongly advise a visit.
The
Burren - The 400 sp. miles of limestone rock formed by the
great geological upheavals of the last ice age have formed the area
on which Lisdoonvarna stands on the edge. Often described as a lunar-like
landscape, there are many signs of ancient man. Dolmens and megalithic
graves scatter the landscape. There are many botanical rarities
and unusual fauna too.
Music & Entertainment
- County Clare is renowned for its music and is often termed the
'Home of traditional Irish music'. Music and entertainment is provided
every night in the local pubs and bars. Doolin, only 5 km away,
is another great spot for music. If you would enjoy Irish set dancing,
we would be delighted to show you where and how it is done.
Other Attractions in the region
include - swimming, golf,
surfing, pony trekking, coarse and sea fishing, caving,
cycling, walking, water sports, landscape painting and many more
