Doolin, County Clare - Doolin

We met some people on the bus that were taking the day trip from Galway to see the Cliffs of Moher. It was a pretty long bus ride. I would say to go to Doolin, enjoy the music and the small town, and enjoy the cliffs.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great town, great people, and beautiful
  • Cons:Limited bus schedule in January
  • In a nutshell:I want to go back!

    A pub that is also a town hall. A b&b owner that is also a taxi driver. The hidden complexity of small places. Lovely page.
