If you’ve been out and about around Clare this summer, you might have noticed a very handy little shuttle bus making its way through some of the county’s most scenic and historic spots.

It’s called the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Explorer Shuttle Bus, and it’s been ferrying both tourists and locals around to and from the Cliffs of Moher, and around to places like Corofin, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, Ballyvaughan and Miltown Malbay — giving people a chance to explore without needing a car.

It’s all part of a campaign to promote sustainable travel in the Burren Geopark, support local businesses, and help us all slow down and soak up what’s on our doorstep.

To tell us a bit more about how it all works, and why it’s not just for visitors, Colum McGrath sat down with Siobhán King — she’s the Projects Officer for County Clare with Fáilte Ireland.
