    Informative and fun… really nice job of telling folks about County Clare in a fun way… well organized…. And great job writing out the how the areas are spelled so further research can be done. Will definitely use your info for trip planning.

      @ Direct flights from Dublin. Nova Scotia, as you may know, has a strong Celtic history…don’t think we measure up to Irish west coasters but we are a pretty good bunch. Good time to come as Canadian $ is so low. Do you love on the West coast?

    Regarding Cratloe Woods, the majority of the forest has been replaced by non native conifers by Coillte, sadly. Few patches of old oak remain but tis mostly gone

      It's such a shame all over we have lost most of our most native forests. I have found myself on more than 1 occasion getting lost in the Cratloe hills. Hopefully more native trees are brought back up there

      Those trees kill the soil and nothing grows at ground level. Conifers are the worst, Coilte is horrendous for planting those bloody things.

    How did you get to that Abbey? We just tried and about 3 signs on the gate No Entry, Bull in field etc so we gave up :(

      Really? There is a water treatment plant I park beside and walk through the gate. I have never seen a bull in the field, it might be for insurance purposes that the signs are there. Its about 15min walk from the gate to the Abbey.
      Hope you got to visit somewhere else instead
