Aillwee Cave

Aillwee Cave and its Birds of Prey Centre, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare is a very special place in the heart of the Burren, dramatic underworld of this unique landscape.  Your tour consists of a 35 minute guided walk through beautiful caverns, over bridged chasms, under weird formations and alongside the thunderous waterfall which sometimes gently sprays the unsuspecting visitor. Marvel at the frozen waterfall and explore the hibernation chambers of the long extinct brown bears.

Absolutely great day out. Very reasonably priced. Brought an 8 and 6 year old, they loved it. Bird sanctuary a complete bonus as we didn't even know it was there. Highly recommended.

The caves are great and all the staff is quite sharp, but the Hawk walk is the experience you must go do. You and your group will get to walk through he woods with two hawks. You'll have the leather falcon gloves and the hawks will come to you and fly around you. They will land on your hand for snacks and are an absolute joy. The woman who guided us was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and fun. I must do if your are in the area.

The caves are great, the view outside is well worth a few pictures and the cafe serves good food. You can even buy a bottle of mead at the shop below to enjoy when you get home after a long day hiking.

Very well managed cave system following the course of an ancient river. Not many stalagmites or stalagtites due to how it was formed. Not recommended for those prone to claustrophobia! Some passageways were very narrow but floor was quite flat and walkable. They also have a birds of prey exhibit right next door.
