The timeless waves,
bright, sifting, broken glass,
Came dazzling around, into the rocks,
Came glinting, sifting from the Americas
To possess Aran.
From "Lovers on Aran" (Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize winner)
Rhadarc Na Mara… the Ocean Views
Rhadarc na Mara is Gaelic for “Ocean View”; named after its
spectacular location looking out over the Atlantic ocean. The views
of the ocean, Cliffs of Moher and down on the traditional Irish music
village of Doolin make this a visual feast. It is beautifully
situated on a quiet country road on the edge of the Burren between
Doolin village and the Ballinalacken Castle. Turn left outside the
front gate and it is just a short walk to Ballinalackan Castle gorge,
breathtaking views of the Aran Islands and the Burren; with its
wildflowers, trickling streams, subterranean rivers and boulders
bulging out of the landscape. Just around the corner from the house
is the largest Stalactite in the Northern Hemisphere (now open to the
public and a must see). Children and adults alike can enjoy the
delights of the surrounding countryside, cows, horses and donkeys;
who will gladly accept a carrot or two as you pass by.
Less than 5 min drive to Doolin village and a 5 min drive to Lisdoonvarna

About Radharc na Mara
Sleeps 7
From the bright airy sun-lit living room, sun room and kitchen you
can sit back and enjoy a spectacular uninterrupted 180 degree view of
the Atlantic ocean, the Cliffs of Moher, edge of the Burren and
beautiful country side. Like many of our guests, you will spend hours
gazing at the constantly changing sea and cliffs and, when the sun
goes down, the stars that seem so much brighter. It will take your
breath away!
Rhadarc Na Mara is a deceptively spacious newly built house with all
the charm of a pine-fitted Irish country home, featuring delightful
features as a barn half door leading from the kitchen out to the
garden deck, an open fireplace in the living room and a spacious sun
room that you’ll want to sit in all day long. You can enjoy a
relaxing family meal in the diner kitchen whilst enjoying the
beautiful views through the glass sliding doors leading out to the
deck and large garden.
