Rest easy Kevin. - Kathleen & Chris

We are all deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend, colleague, and local legend, Kevin McCormack.
Kevin was truly one of a kind – a man of warm wit, tireless energy, and a fierce dedication to his community. He was the driving force behind countless local initiatives and was the founder of the Ballyvaughan and Fanore Walking Club, a club that brought so many of us together. Kevin was at the heart of our community – always coming up with creative ideas and ensuring everyone felt welcome and involved. As long-time Chairman of the Fanore Events Club, he was the instigator of the Fanore Burren 5k, 10k and Half marathon now in its 12th year
His legacy is there in the numerous local projects that he started.
We were privileged to have known Kevin and to have shared so many special moments with him. His absence will be felt deeply, but his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and all who loved him.
Rest in Peace, Kevin. You are simply irreplaceable.

Welcome to ‘Into The Burren’

Kathleen and Chris look forward to welcoming you to ‘Into the Burren’ - A place that has been described as a “a landscape like no other”. We are positioned between the high mountains on the West Coast of Clare and the Atlantic Ocean.

We can provide you with all the information and local tips you need on this area. Kathleen is an experienced national tour guide who is always happy to give advice on where to visit and what to do. We also have plenty of resources on site - including maps, travel books, and other tour planning materials. This way, you can make the most of your time here and explore the many beautiful sights such as the famous Cliffs of Moher, Poulnabrone Dolmen, and Corcomroe Abbey and appreciate the limestone pavements and flora and fauna of the area. Our aim is to ensure that you have best visit possible and to experience all that this unique landscape has to offer.

The spectacular Fanore beach is only a five minute drive from the house. It is a “Blue Flag” beach where you can swim, walk, and surf. For more fun at the beach, why not fly a kite or build sandcastles? We have plenty of kites, buckets, and spades for you to use.

Doolin, the musical capital of Ireland, is only a short drive away, as are the local towns Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan.
