On a Clare day ...

YOU must all go to Clare — more specifically to the Burren area of north Clare.

That sounds a bit autocratic but I recently spent the most wonderful afternoon on a Farm Heritage walk close to Kilnaboy. I was over for the launch of the Burren Ecotourism Network at Gregans Castle. There is always a warm welcome, lots of blazing turf fires — no sacrifice to stay there. The food — cooked by chef Mickael Viljanen and his team — is terrific.
