Martina will be able to give expert advice on golf (Lahinch and Doonbeg golfcourses are nearby), surfing in Lahinch and Fanore, accessible hikes, walks and cycling trails. As keen walkers themselves, John and Martina are delighted to share their local knowledge with guests and provide maps and walking sticks and they also have a lock up shed for bikes. |

| The Spectacle Bridge |
| The Spectacle Bridge (3 km) - The bridge spans a deep narrow gorge through which the Aille River flows. As it had to support the road at the top, a double arch forming a circular opening was built above the lower arch, giving the bridge its unusual and unique 'spectacle' appearance. |
