Ballyhannon Castle is situated close to the centre of Ireland, so by staying there you are ideally based to explore anywhere in Ireland in a day, and most conveniently the West and South coasts which are known the world over for their beauty of landscapes and warmth of hospitality. From the countless picturesque villages to the bustling cities of Limerick, Cork and Galway, or from the wild countryside from Dingle on the famous Ring of Kerry to Connemara to the mighty Shannon River and unique flora and fauna of the Burren, there is simply nowhere else quite like it. Ballyhannon Castle is perfectly positioned on the West of Ireland in Co. Clare – the heart of the west coast.

The Property is at the end of a long private avenue (cul-de-sac), just off a minor road which connects to the main Limerick to Galway motorway, also serving Shannon International Airport approximately 10 miles away, and allowing easy access to everywhere on the west coast. It is approximately:

3 miles from the local villages of Newmarket-on-Fergus and Quin, with its famous Quin Abbey; also minutes away are Knappogue and Bunratty Castle, providing top-class medieval entertainment where traditional pageantry and banquets are held weekly (and nightly in high season).

Bunratty Castle and Folk Park (10 minutes away), with its heritage visitors centre consisting of a Medieval village beside its famous 15th century castle.

The Burren (40 minutes away) with flora and fauna unique only to Ireland, underground rivers and caves, all open to the public. This local landscape has been a source of fascination and enjoyment for visitors, both local and international, for generations.

The Aran Islands are one of the native Irish-speaking areas of Ireland, and are Europe's most westerly point. Inishmór is the largest island, home to the impressive Iron Age fortress of Dun Aengus, while Inisheer’s atmospheric beauty has attracted countless writers and artists over the years, and has history dating right back to a 4th century monastic settlement.

Cliffs of Moher (60 minutes to) ranked as one of Ireland’s most famous and visited sights, and in line to be among the next 7 wonders of the world. They rise over 700 feet high, stretch 5 miles along the coast and display wild and rugged coastline. They are home to thousands of screeching puffins and you can take a coastal walk to see unparalleled views of the Atlantic seascape. The O’Brien tower at the top of the cliffs offers views of the Aran Islands. It is from these islands that the Aran sweater originated.
