Introduction

Holiday Haunts on the West Coast of Clare, Ireland by H B H is a travel guide to the resorts of Clare, published in 1891. Beginning in Kilkee and Loophead, the author traveled up the west coast of the county, visiting Spanish Point, Lahinch, the Cliffs of Moher, Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan. While the main emphasis is on bathing places and the spa at Lisdoonvarna, towns like Kilrush, Miltown Malbay, Ennistymon and Kilfenora are also visited as are inland areas like Mount Callan and the Burren. While dealing with the practicalities of accommodation and transport, this publication also includes information on local folklore and legends, antiquities and areas of natural beauty.
