County Clare: Road leading into the BurrenThe 'Banner County'
County Clare is a wonderful mix of ancient and modern, traditional and new. A striking example of this is Ennis - it became Ireland's first Information Age town, embracing PC and Internet use, yet some parts of the town are almost a thousand years old.

Other signs of the county's ancient history abound 'amongst the stones'. All this and a contemorary view of it in action as the living Gaelic traditions still permeate it's communities..likely you'll meet it, even more likely - that you will hear it..
