Aillwee Cave - Ballyvaughan, County Clare

A show cave located near Ballyvaughan in County Clare

Located in the heart of the Burren In County Clare. Forty minutes from both Galway and Shannon. Perched high on its Burren terraced mountain side with what has to be one of the most spectacular views of Galway Bay.

Aillwee Cave is a must for all who find themselves in the area. Let the staff at AILLWEE CAVE welcome you to the dramatic underworld of the Burren area.

Expert guides will accompany and inform you during your leisurely tour which consists of a 30 minute stroll through the beautiful caverns over bridged chasms, under weird formations and alongside the thunderous waterfall which sometimes gently sprays the unsuspecting visitor!

Marvel at the frozen waterfall and explore the now extinct brown bears bones (ursos arctos).

The guides will bring you back to the outside world where you can browse and shop in a distinctly different gift shop which is housed in the award-winning complex that guards the entrance to the Burren underground.
