Fanore - The
perfect location to view the
Volvo Ocean Race finish in 2012.
Fanore is a small village in Co. Clare,
Ireland. It is situated on the Atlantic Ocean. It is renowned for its
beautiful sandy beach from which its name is derived (fainne or - gaelic for
ring of gold). It consists of a pub, and a post office/shop & restaurant. It
has a surf school in close proximity to the beach. One of the many special
things about Fanore is the fact that it lies on the edge of the Burren which
is world renowned for its unique flora and fauna.
Ballyvaughan is a
close-by harbour village. It is located on the south shores of Galway Bay,
in the northwest corner of The Burren. It is also known as The Gateway to the
Burren; the Burren is an area of great rocky expanse and one of the world's
truly unique places.
Each year botanists and naturalists roam this lunar landscape in search of
Arctic, Alpine and Mediterranean plants that grow in profusion over the
limestone pavements. The Burren is renowned for its archaeology.
Ballyvaughan is surrounded by megalithic tombs such as Poulnabrone Dolmen,
celtic ring forts, medieval churches and castles.
