Aillwee Cave is in quite a short distance from Doolin and when driving across Ireland you may hardly escape their brochures and advertisments in various "Tourist Informations" all over the country.I my personal opinion it is rather a tourist-trap, than a sight I may recommend. You may just walk inside a cave and see places, where obviously bears hibernated a long time ago. And around that simple fact they constructed a gigantic program, light-effects in the cave etc.
Under all of the Burren there are several caves, BUT Aillwee Cave is the only one that you may enter :
Aillwee Cave is open for visitors daily
all year long after 10.00a.m.
entrance-fee is 10 Euros / children : 5 Euros !
see their web-page : www.aillweecave.ie
For sure Aillwee Cave is a good place to have a rest, use the toilette, park your car on a large parking, cook a meal inside your motorhome or go to the tea-room of the cave...

Some of the best caves in Ireland (or as the tourist info puts it "Ireland's premier showcave" - whatever that may mean!) the Aillwee caves are definitely worth a visit
If you think the Burren is impressive looking above ground then check it out below where the caves are full of spectacular rock formations.
The caves are open all year round (from 10.00am to 6.00pm with last admissions 30 minutes before closing) and cost €7.50 for adults (€4.50 for children with reductions for students & OAPs). Family tickets are also available

Nightlife is what Doolin became famous for. I first struck on this village by accident many years ago. In those days the pubs openly flouted the drinking laws. I remember standing in one of the pubs...

Doolin is small village on the west coast of County Clare, off the R478, overlooking the Aran Islands. It is from here that you can catch a ferry to the islands.
