Doolin Tourism
Website
Burren Centre
In the picturesque village of Kilfenora, The Burren Centre
gives the visitor an introduction to the visual delights
and ancient mysteries which await to be discovered in
this unspoiled corner of Ireland.
Doolin Cave
Doolin Cave is home to a wondrous geological phenomenon
- The Great Stalactite. Measuring almost 7 metres in length,
it is one of the largest free hanging stalactites in the
world and the longest stalactite in the Northern Hemisphere.
What makes it even more impressive is the fact that it
is held on by a section of calcite, less than 0.3
m square. Visitors to Doolin Cave will experience an unforgettable
adventure. You will become an explorer, donning a hardhat
and flashlight as you make your way through the 100 metres
long cave. The chamber housing the sparkling Great Stalactite
is subtly lit, to highlight its delicate but awesome splendour.
