What to expect
Lisdoonvarna Spa Wells Heritage Centre in County Clare, was opened in June 2018 in the building formally known locally as the Spa Wells. Visit the centre to learn about local history and the waters in the exhibition. Delve into the history of Ireland’s only surviving Victorian spa town, meet the leading landlord of the time, the promoters of the spa and study the photographic progress of the town from its humble beginnings to present day. Visitors are also welcome to sample the minerals of the sulphur waters.
Sit and relax with stunning scenery and views of the garden and listen to the sound of the rivers. Children will enjoy the play area. The tea room is within the main building where local tarts and scones are sold. In May, visitors can find a rare flower called the Greater Butterwort.
