WHAT TO EXPECT
@ AILLWEE:
BOOKING ESSENTIAL
PRIOR TO ARRIVAL
Located in the heart of The Burren Region of County Clare. Perched high on its Burren terraced mountainside with what has to be one of the most spectacular views of Galway Bay, along The Wild Atlantic Way, Aillwee is a place full of wonder, beauty and discovery.
AILLWEE IS HOME TO:
Ireland’s Premiere Show Cave; Expert guides will accompany and inform you during your leisurely Cave tour. The tour consists of a 35-minute stroll through the beautiful caverns unveiling a unique Burren underground landscape.
The Birds of Prey Centre has been educating and entertaining visitors with dynamic flying displays set against the dramatic Burren Landscape, since 2008. The centre offers dynamic flying displays where the visitor can interact and get up close and personal to the birds, a home to eagles, falcons, hawks, and owls from all over the world. An awareness of raptor conservation both in Ireland and internationally is also important.
In the Farmshop, allow your Foodie self to take over as you see the location of the Cheese Factory and see the Gouda style cheese being made in front of you during its season – April to October. Become lost in the Farmshop as a team member will talk you through the process of Cheese-Making and reveal the one of a kind 35-year story of Burren Gold Cheese at Aillwee. All this, while you taste your way through the cheeses learning texture, taste and ageing within the different cheeses.
For your sweet tooth, indulge in our home-made Fudge while we talk you through all the flavours available.
