These gatherings capture the joy of community, making them the perfect way to end a spring day in the West of Ireland.
4. Step Back in Time at Killilagh Church
Just outside the heart of Doolin, the ruins of Killilagh Church invite you to connect with Ireland’s ancient past. Recognised as a parish church as early as 1302 and likely built even earlier, this site was once among the wealthiest in the Burren. It’s 15th-century stonework still whispers stories through weathered arches and windows. Wander among the ruins, pause by the ancient ring-fort nearby, and sense the echoes of myth, faith, and heritage in every stone.
