Ballyvaughan tourist & visitor information

Ballyvaughan is located on the north coast of the Burren. The town is a good base point for your stay in the Burren. Ballyvaughan has a good selection of Bed and Breakfasts and hotels. There are a number of self catering cottages and apartments in the area and a caravan park and campsite just a little up the road in Fanore. There is a lively night life in the town during the tourist season and the locals are friendly and helpful to all their visitors.

If you're interested in hill walking or guided cycling or walking tours there are a number of local resources and guides in the area. If golf is your passion a trip to Lahinch is a must though you will need to book well in advance to get a tee time during the season. If you have time a short hop out to the Aran Islands via the ferry from Doolin or Liscannor is a very enjoyable day trip.
