EUROPE’S LARGEST STALACTITE
Advertisement
350 MILLION YEARS BACK IN TIME
125 STEPS UNDERGROUND
1 INCREDIBLE DESTINATION
Discover the power of ONE at Doolin Cave and see for yourself how a single continuous drop of water formed the largest stalactite in Europe, the only one of its kind in Ireland, and a force of nature that will take your breath away.
Prepare for a true underground experience. Deep in the heart of the earth, 200 feet down, Doolin Cave is a fantasy-like world created from water, time and the hand of nature. Take a journey down through an intricate system of passages and pathways that will lead you into the majestic cathedral-like dome of the cave and the awe-inspiring wonder that is the Great Stalactite. 7.3 metres long and weighing
around 10 tonnes, this vast structure reaches down from the roof of the Cave, catching the light, reflecting colours and detail like a massive, ornate glass chandelier. It is a sight like no other and one that will stay with you forever.
At the same time, Doolin Caves gives you a wealth of different experiences – and you’ll go from underground adventure to fabulous above-the-ground attractions…
You can take home a memory – with beautiful Doolin Cave Pottery created by resident artist Caireann Browne and available to buy in our Gift Shop and online. You’ll love how its rich
textures and glazing beautifully echo the flow, drip and layering of the Cave’s stalactites.
You can embrace nature – follow the Doolin Cave Eco Trail – a fascinating 1 km looped path around the Cave where nature runs free, and the natural wildness is rich with meadow flowers, indigenous plants and trees and local grasses.
You can taste the Burren – take a rest and enjoy the best of the Burren local produce at our ‘Wild at the Cave Café’ - real, good, wholesome deliciousness made from the freshest local produce.
