Joseph’s guidebook for Doolin and surrounding area
Sightseeing
Cliffs of Moher
The Cliff walk goes from Doolin Village along the coast. passes the Visitor center about the mid way point and finishes at Hags Head.
The trail is 12km in total.
There is a local guide (Pat Sweeney) that has a tour each morning starting from Gus O Conners Pub and goes to the Visitor Center. This is about 6km and then a bus will bring you back to the village.
You can do the walk by yourself also.
I think the best way to do this is buy catching a shuttle bus from Doolin Village and getting dropped off at either the half way point or Hags head. Then you can walk at you own pace along the cliffs and end up back at your car in the Village.

Doolin Cave is really spectacular. It is the largest stalactite in Europe. The tour is one hour long and goes on the hour from 10am and to 5pm each day.
There is also a little nature trail around the grounds with some native cows, sheep, donkeys and pygmy goats.
The cave is now open all year round.
It is also a perfect rainy day activity.
