It would be very naughty indeed of me, to go on and on about how great West Clare is, without mentioning the rest of Clare, which is by no means less impressive.

I'm going to mention but two of the sights situated in the rest of County Clare that should not be missed on your holiday in Ireland.

The Burren
Not enough trees to hang a man,
Not enough water to drown a man,
and not enough soil to bury a man.

That is how a soldier of old described it upon his first visit to the Burren.

The Burren extends over more than a hundred square miles and most of it is limestone, bare, pale and grey. Tedious, yet spectacular. Besides that, the Burren is mountainous, has a wonderful seashore and is scattered with the monuments
created by its human inhabitants in the course of six thousand years.
The Burren is well worth a visit any time of the year.

Dolmen
Poulnabrone Dolmen, or Portal Tomb if you like, in the Burren is one of the most photographed of all the monuments in Ireland. Its dramatic siting on the limestone pavements make as much impact on one's senses as the most famous piece of
modern sculpture does. High praise indeed, for its builders of more than 6000 years ago.

Recent conservation work ensures Poulnabrone's Dolmen survival for another 6000 years.

There is plenty more, but I will leave that to your own sense of discovery.
