There are so many beautiful sights and interesting places to visit nearby, and it's difficult to choose... but here are a few of my favourites.
This is a must see, but you need to plan your trip. I recommend that you book your ticket on line at www.cliffsofmoher.ie and go early in the morning or late in the afternoon/evening. It gets very busy during the day.

The drive along the coast from Kilkee to Loop Head has some really beautiful views. The Lighthouse is very interesting and the walk around it is spectacular! A quiet place, where you can hear the birds calling and if you are lucky, dolphins in the sea.
