Aillwee Cave

Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare, Ireland

Description

In the heart of the Burren, lies one of the oldest caves in Ireland.

This cave was formed by the glacial melt waters of an early ice age. The erosive power of the waters carved out a subterranean river deep underneath Aillwee mountain. This river has subsided since the last ice age, leaving behind one of Ireland's most stunning caves.
