Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.

Ballyvaughan or Ballyvaghan is a small harbour village in County Clare, Ireland. It is on the N67 road on the south shores of Galway Bay, in the northwest corner of The Burren. This position on the coast road and the close proximity to many of the area's sights has turned the village into a local center of tourism. As of the 2022 census, Ballyvaughan had a population of 361. The area was officially classified as part of the West Clare Gaeltacht, an Irish-speaking community, until 1956.

As you wander through its cobblestone streets, you'll be surrounded by stunning views of the Burren Mountains and the tranquil waters of Galway Bay. The area is known for its unique landscape, comprised of limestone pavements and rare flora, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

One of the most popular attractions in Ballyvaughan is the Aillwee Cave, a fascinating underground network of tunnels and caverns that offer a glimpse into the area's geological history. You can also explore the Burren National Park, which boasts a diverse range of wildlife and plant species, including the rare Arctic hare and the delicate spring gentian.
