33. Kilfenora, The Burren, County Clare - Part 1 The Village
The village of Kilfenora is set in the gently rolling limestone farmland of the Burren, Co. Clare
Kilfenora is basically a one street village of traditionally colourful houses, many are often brightly painted as are most of the shops. There is an informative Burren Centre ('The Gateway to the Burren') and the several pubs-bars which are great venues for traditional Irish music ....
.... and a great night was had by all.
Linnane's Bar and Nagles Pub in the main street.
The Burren Information Centre in the village of Kilfenora with good displays on the geology, geography, history, archaeology and the flora & fauna of the wonderful limestone country of The Burren through the aid of a landscape model and a homely tearoom as well. The Burren Centre is next to St Fachtnan's Cathedral (see next page 34).
Kilfenora St Fachtna's Catholic Church (built 1840) and the statue of St Anthony who seem to bring us good luck over some lost car keys! (see page 34 for the Cathedral)
