Free Hop on hop off bus service for coastal Clare
A new, free, hop-on hop-off shuttle bus service was launched on May 1st to connect top visitor attractions with towns and villages across north and West Clare.
‘The Burren and Cliffs Explorer’ is a joint initiative of Clare County Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
The core objective of the new service is to a free alterative travel mode to visitors, to allow them park up their cars. This will help alleviate summertime congestion while also introducing visitors to locations they might otherwise not have visited.
Over 1 million visitors come to enjoy the stunning but protected landscape around the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren National Park.
The new shuttle service will link the towns of Miltown Malbay, Lisdoonvarna, Liscannor, Doolin, Kilfenora, Corofin and Ballyvaughan, and the many tourist attractions that lie around those towns and villages, including the Cliffs of Moher, which attracts over 1.3 million visitors each year.
It will also service the Aillwee caves, the Poulnabrone Dolmen in the Burren and the Caherconnell Stone Fort.
The service which began on May 01 runs until the end of August as a pilot, with the possibility of extending it into September with hubs in Miltown Malbay and Lisdoonvarna, where free parking is available.
