County Clare, Administrative county in Munster, Ireland
County Clare extends across 3,450 square kilometers of western Ireland, featuring limestone landscapes, coastal cliffs, and agricultural lands along the Atlantic Ocean.
The region contains archaeological evidence from 10,500 BC found in Alice and Gwendoline Cave, marking the earliest known human presence in Ireland.
Traditional Irish music sessions take place in local pubs throughout the county, with the Willie Clancy Summer School drawing musicians to Milltown Malbay.
Shannon Airport serves as the main transportation hub, offering domestic and international flights while connecting the county to major European destinations.
The Burren's limestone terrain creates a natural environment where Arctic, Mediterranean, and Alpine plants grow side by side in spring conditions.
