Doolin

Doolin is a village on Ireland's west coast. It's known as a gateway to the ancient sites on the Aran Islands, which are just offshore. The towering Cliffs of Moher lie southwest of town. Doolin Cave has a huge, free-hanging stalactite. Nearby, the spa town of Lisdoonvarna has a Victorian pump house. Farther north and east, the Burren is a stark area of limestone beds, where several species of orchids grow.
