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.
I'm delighted to hear it was helpful. Tried to include places from all corners of Clare. Will be doing a Halloween list in the near future 👻 If you have any suggestions for places we can cover in limerick let me know 😃
@ 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Regarding Cratloe Woods, the majority of the forest has been replaced by non native conifers by Coillte, sadly.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
Agreed, there are still beauty underneath it all, the people, all our ancestors of the West Coast, I wish I knew more, was able to explore, love, pass on to our future. They deserve to from the best, all beautiful people, Kind, wise, talented, intelligent, Real people who know these parts like no one else in this world... 👁️💯💚👁️🇮🇪👁️💚💯👁️👁️🇮🇪
@@balorotherworld5810 I'm over 60 and my roots, my Grands, my cousins are all West Coast, not saying anything bad, because it is beautiful in Dublin, the history, the vibe is for younger folks. I just know when I walked my Grandpa's Land , Cottage, from 250 yrs + with my Cousin; First time in my life was grounded, loving where I stood, didn't want to ever leave. So so spiritual, love, can't explain it in words.... I want to be there every minute is how I can explain my feelings than and now.. 👀💯💚🍀🇮🇪💚🫂💚💯💚🇮🇪🍀
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
Hope ye get down to it again next time your in the area. There is a holy well beside it that marks an old pilgrim path back to ennis but I haven't walked to whole thing
@@balorotherworld5810 its a shame there is no legal access to it, ruins like that should be treated like national treasures not blocked by some farmers. Feeling too old for trespassing 😥😅& escaping bulls
@@mayagame I can promise in over 20 years I never met a farmer or a bull 😀 I think public access is allowed anyway, it's under the OPW. Yeah you used be able to go into the crypt, now only my skinny friends can fit with the gates 🤪
Thanks a mill for the feedback. Yeah audio needs work. I live in a box so the acoustics are rubbish. I was thinking of recording all my audios in churches
Beautiful county, great video from the formidable Formorian himself.👁☘
We've hardly scratched the surface in Clare. Must get up to Tory Island for a Balor video in the new year. 👁

Thank you so much. Great to get the feedback. I'm going to try to do another top 10 for Clare soon with other locations
Thanks for that :) I live in Limerick and often go for day trips to Clare and around lough Derg but still didnt know few places you have mentioned!

It's worse for me - I'm from there and a few sites unknown to me!
County Clare, my favorite place in the world to visit. Nova Scotia, Canada
I've only heard wonderful things about Nova Scotia. Hoping I can visit some day

@@deborahking2367 I've always loved it here. A lot of Canadians come on tours with me and they have made me want to visit more than ever.

Those trees kill the soil and nothing grows at ground level. Conifers are the worst, Coilte is horrendous for planting those bloody things.
Thank you for this, my mothers family is from Clare Ireland!
Delighted! Look us up if you come over for a visit
Mountshannon is fab, I now live there and work in that park! I know.. I'm very lucky😉😊
Lucky indeed! Mountshannon has been one of my favourite places in the world since I was a kid
Love ur energy, the West Coast is where it's at. Dublin is great but in it's way different environment 👁️👁️💯💚🍀💚🍀🇮🇪,
Thanks so much Eileen. I'm overdue doing another list of places in Clare

i live in ruan by Mullaghmore dramore wood is so nice
I love Dromore Woods. It'll have to be included in the next one
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 :(

@@tommylanigan4721 yes, I think we parked there too, didnt feel like running away from a bull today! 😅😭 went to Coole park instead ;)

Love loophead
An underrated gem!
is no one talking about the hand at 2:06? :D
😆 I'm with you! Was sure that would be a talking point. If you find that spot u can get into the crypts
haha these are great videos. Maybe invest in higher quality audio equipment, everything else is solid. Very entertaining good work.

Nice video but I can't believe you skipped the Cliffs of Kilkee?🤔Way nicer and not as commercial as the Cliffs of Moher.Gluck
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm gonna do Another Top 10 for Clare soon. It was impossible to do everyone justice in 1 vid.
UP THE BANNER
GWAN YA GOOD THING!!! #bannermen4life
