Things to do
From coastal walks to hidden heritage, wellness retreats to farm visits—explore experiences that make Liscannor more than just a stop by the Cliffs.
Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience
The iconic cliff views with paved, protected paths, exhibits and facilities—ideal for families and accessible touring. Combine viewpoints with the visitor centre for the safest, most reliable way to enjoy the cliffs.
Kilmacreehy Church Ruins & Parish Heritage
Atmospheric medieval church ruins east of Liscannor with carved stone details and a long parish history reaching toward Hag’s Head. A quiet, photogenic stop that grounds the cliffs area in its older story.
Fishing in Liscannor
Try your luck from the harbour wall or join a sea angling trip along the Wild Atlantic Way. From mackerel and pollock to the thrill of deeper-water catches, fishing here combines the excitement of the ocean with the beauty of Liscannor’s rugged coastline. Nearby rivers and estuaries also offer peaceful spots for coarse and trout fishing.
Clahane Shore Walk & Sea Dip
A locals’ favourite coastal pocket west of the village with tidal rock pools, seabirds and a slipway. At low tide, explore pools; at high tide, confident swimmers take quick dips using the ladders when conditions are calm. Gorgeous at sunset and perfect for a short, wild Atlantic fix.
Liscannor Harbour Heritage Stroll
A gentle amble around the harbour—the historic artery for exporting Liscannor stone and local catch. Take in sea views over the bay, fishing boats at work and the commemorative stone honouring submarine pioneer John P. Holland.
St Brigid’s Well: Pilgrimage & Pattern Walk
One of Clare’s most venerated holy wells just outside the village. Step into the candle‑lit grotto, read the notes and ribbons left by pilgrims, and follow the traditional ‘rounds’ up to the graveyard and back to the spring. A short, moving stop that blends folklore, faith and community—especially meaningful on Feb. 1 (St Brigid’s Day).
Running and Walking in Liscannor
Discover breathtaking running and walking routes along the Cliffs of Moher and Liscannor Bay, suited to every pace and ability.
Moher Hill Open Farm & Leisure Park
A family favourite five–ten minutes from Liscannor with animal encounters, indoor/outdoor play, go‑karts, a fairy trail and a fun mini‑golf course. Facilities include a café and buggy‑friendly paths. Operates under a zoo licence, so only assistance dogs are permitted.
Live Music & Pub Culture
Cosy, lively nights of trad tunes, ballads and community craic across Liscannor’s pubs. Weekends often feature live music; grab a table early, order seafood or a pint, and settle in for reels and sing‑songs. Rotas vary by season—ask locally.
Surfing in Liscannor
Catch waves in Liscannor — from family-friendly surf lessons to the world-famous “Aileens” big wave break beneath the Cliffs of Moher.
Sauna Suaimhneas: Mobile Wood‑Fired Sauna + Sea Plunge
Boutique wellness on the Wild Atlantic: heat up in a wood‑fired barrel sauna, then plunge into the sea and repeat. The unit rotates locations (often Clahane/Lahinch) with a weekly timetable aligned to tides. A soul‑warming reset in any season.
Liscannor GAA, LGFA & Moher Celtic
Experience local sport and community spirit with Gaelic football and soccer matches in Liscannor, played at the scenic Liscannor Community Sportsfield.
The Rock Shop: Fossils, Gems & Tearoom
A kid‑approved stop with fossil and mineral displays, gifts and a cosy tearoom—great for wet days or gentle browsing between sights. Staff can offer magnifiers and ID cards to turn it into a mini ‘treasure hunt’ for children.
