The Ailwee Caves is located 4.5km south of Ballyvaughan village and is one of Irelands leading visitor attractions. Travel deep into this magnificent cave system through beautiful caverns and witness fascinating rock formations along a 1 KM tunnel1 KM into that leads to 3 undergound chambers – Bear Haven, Mud Hall and Cascade Chamber. The cave was originally an underground river, which was fed by the melting snows of the ice age. After the river dried up, the cave was left as it is today and boasts proud formations of stalactites, stalagmites, relics of bears and a waterfall. The cave also displays beautiful natural gems and stones, well worth a look! Visit the farm shop where you can enjoy a taster and see the cheese making process the Award Winning Burren Gold Farmhouse Cheese firsthand for yourself. Aillwee offers guided tours through the caves, which take approximately 30 minutes. There is also a craft shop, restaurant and a coffee shop on the premises.
Poulnabrone Dolmen: This dramatic site, on the karstic limestone pavement of the Burren, is one of the most famous Irish dolmens. The name Poulnabrone literally means 'The hole of the sorrows'. The thin capstone sits on two 1.8m (6ft) high portal stones to create a chamber in a 9m (30ft) low cairn. The eastern portal stone was replaced in 1985, following a discovery that it was unfortunately cracked; excavations during the repair showed that this site dated back to about 2500 BC.
