Doolin's Description

Doolin is one of three places with ferry services to the Aran Islands (Galway and the village Rossaveal on the northwest shore of Galway Bay are the others), which are visible from the town. Doolin is also near the Cliffs of Moher, and a bus service from Limerick/Ennis stops both at the cliffs and Doolin on its way to Galway – stopping along the other direction also. The area is at the south-western corner of the Burren region.
Often called the “Traditional Music Capital of Ireland”, Doolin is a scattered village comprises three parts – the upper part, Roadford, which has two pubs, a restaurant, a café, a few hostels, B&Bs and a campsite – and about one kilometer down towards the shore and harbour, Fisher Street, with O’Connor’s Pub, a hostel, shops, restaurants and bed and breakfasts. Even further towards the sea, Doolin Harbour and another campsite lie at the end of the road.
The Aille River runs from the hills of the Burren down past Doolin to meet the sea. The small Crab Island is a short distance out from Doolin Harbor, barren except for the remains of a 19th Century stone constabulary outpost.
