Measuring almost 7 metres in length, it is one of the largest free hanging stalactites in the world. This is a truly wondrous sight. In order to preserve the delicate ecosystem of the cave numbers are limited per tour and per year. The cave tour takes approximately one hour. Access to the cave is via a courtesy coach from Bruach na hAille Restaurant. « less

I was in two minds whether to visit the cave as I was one of the lucky ones who chose to visit Ireland during the fine spell of weather at the end of September and had this down as something to do in bad weather. However after the disappointment of not being able to walk on the Cliffs of Moher,... more
