Situated in the southeastern extremity of the Burren region of Co. Clare, Dromore Woodland Nature Reserve is an area of approximately 400 hectares. It is owned by the Irish State and was established as a nature reserve in 1985 because of the diversity and richness of its flora and fauna.

This richness comes from the fact that it has many different habitat types including a river, lakes, turloughs, callows (flooded meadows), limestone pavement, fen peat, reed beds and rich woodland species.

Two self guiding nature trails of approximately 1hr exist within the woodland and a section of the 140km Mid-Clare Way also passes through.

At Kilmacduagh, the Augustinian church and the east range of the domestic buildings are exceptionally well preserved. The chancel has high quality sculptural details that are characteristic of a group of masons, known as the ‘School of the West’, who were working on ecclesiastical buildings in the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Kilmacduagh has an impressive array of other medieval buildings that include St Cólmán’s cathedral, the church of St John the Baptist, Templemurry (Our Lady’s church) and the bishop’s residence. The most striking building is the round tower which is leaning like its very famous counterpart at Pisa.

Important Informations :

Kilmacduagh is an open site, but many of the buildings will be locked. A key is available from the house across the street from the monastery (a small deposit will be required).
The area around the graveyard, round tower and cathedral has pathways.
Some areas of the site can be prone to water-logging, so bring appropriate footwear if planning to explore.
