Forths/ raths in County Clare

Laura Rua

My boyfriend and I will be in Clare for a few days next week and we're hoping to go and see some of the fairy forts that have stories attached to them. I read quite a bit of Eddie Lenihan's work on the subject, and it would be great to see some of the places I've been reading about. Any suggestions would be great.

Aside from that, is there anywhere in particular you'd recommend we visit? (We've been to the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Craggy Island Parochial House already! )

Aillwee cave is quite nice I hear. Haven't been there in years.

Bunratty castle is another place you should have a look at.

Sorry, it's probably a bit late but Mooghaun hill fort near Quin is very worthwhile.

Theres a gig on at Caherconnel Fort on Saturday night in the Burren. It's traditional music. Have a look at Caherballykinvariga if you're up the Kilfenora way.
