GETTING HERE
-
From Dublin: Take the Dublin to Galway motorway (M6), and then the Limerick motorway (M18) before reaching Galway. Exit at Gort, and enjoy a beautiful drive through the Burren passing Kilnaboy and Kilfenora before reaching the centre (~3 hours).
From Galway: We recommend the more scenic route as it takes just a couple of minutes more. Travel via Oranmore to Kinvara, then from Ballyvaughan via the famous Corkscrew Hill to Lisdoonvarna. After passing through Lisdoonvarna, turn left to Kilfenora. After approx 1km, turn right at the signpost and take the next turn left. The Centre is about 1km down the road, on your right.
From Ennis: From Ennis take the N85 towards Ennistymon. Then turn right onto R476 to Corofin/Kilfenora. At Kilfenora take the first right towards Lisdoonvarna. After approx 4km turn left at the sign for Common Knowledge, and the next right turn. Follow the road for 2km and you will see us on the left (~35 mins).
