Ireland consists of an abundance of different types of rock. This has led nature to play some dirty tricks on the landscape, resulting in spectacular natural sights,
freaks, that are no where else to be found.

Pollock Holes
At the Western Side of the bay at Kilkee, you will find the Duggerna Rocks, a natural barrier that breaks the fury of the Atlantic, within this reef of rocks there are three
large rock pools, popularly known as the Pollock Holes. These pools are used for swimming and diving.

There is another pool called the "Table Pool", a shallow pool used mainly by non-swimmers. At the outmost tip of these rocks you will find "Myles Creek", used only by strong swimmers and nearby is the highest point of the rocks, known as the "cnap".

Puffing Holes
Ireland's very own old faithfull. The Puffing Holes were created by extra-odinary phenomenon, the sea literally ate her way into the weaker part of the rock lining the coast, creating a tunnel for water to flow through. When the tide comes in,and if the wind is particularly gusty, the water is forced through this tunnel and it sprays out of a hole in the middle of the ground. Just like old faithfull in the United States.

This is something truly magnificent to view, it has been known that people has spent hours staring at this natural phenomenon.

Bridges of Ross
The Bridges of Ross were created in a similar fashion to the Puffing Holes, except it was on a larger scale. Because so many different types of rock make up the coastline of West Clare, the weaker type of rock got worn away by sea and wind over the centuries. This created gigantic tunnels where the ocean could flow freely into, the top soil, some more heavy than others caved in over these tunnels, but
at some places it stayed intact.

This created natural bridges over otherwise uncrossable seas, a view of these Bridges of Ross has left many a visitor stunned, not only by beauty, but also by pure magnitude. Emphasising the power and ruthlessness of the savage Atlantic.

Most of these sights are not very well known, some never even heard of outside of West Clare. Make your holiday one of discovery, make it unique...
