Doolin Cave - Doolin, County Clare

A show cave located near Doolin, County Clare

Doolin Cave is one of Europe's most compelling cave attractions. From the moment you descend over 80ft into the first tunnel, with your guide, you will enter a world carved by water.

Donning your hardhat, you will follow the rough-hewn route of the early explorers who first discovered the cave. When you enter the stunning, cathedral-like dome that houses the huge stalactite, you will be briefly plunged into a world of primitive darkness. Then, in a flash, you will be awed as the subtly-lit stalactite appears before you.

At 7.3 metres it is the longest free-hanging stalactite in Europe, suspended from the ceiling like a chandelier.

And, far below, a magical stream carries to the hills outside, the water that carved the primeval world around you.
