This easy forest walk journeys past waterfalls, rock pools and rapids, and presents stunning photographic opportunities. The Clare Glens is a wooded area along the banks of the Clare River, which separates counties Limerick and Tipperary. The scenery is breathtaking, with wild dense forest combined with the calm rushing of the crystal clear waters. The Glens consist of a picturesque red sandstone gorge through which the Clare River flows and displays numerous waterfalls. This loop walk is part of the network of National Looped Walks and are marked using the standard National Looped Walk directional arrows.
Bring sturdy walking boots, waterproofs, rucksack, fluid, and snacks.
Start from the village of Murroe (Moroe) on the R506 between Limerick City and Cappamore. Follow the signs for Clare Glens which take you north out of the village. Follow this road for approximately 5km to reach the trailhead at a car parking area on your left. Both loops start and finish here. Note: the trailhead is signposted from Murroe.

Sun Jun 21 2020Very enjoyable, great views and even got a little swim in too.
Mon Mar 23 2020A lovely walk. Can be a bit steep and a scramble at times. Some rocks can be slippery so you'd need to be careful around the water.
Fri Feb 21 2020A really nice walk. Slightly strenuous in spots but a generally easy and enjoyable walk. Parts of the path can get very muddy in wet weather so walking boots are advised. A really nice place to take children and/or pets.
Thu Nov 14 2019Ver flat, well maintained dirt trail. Lovely river view
Tue Sep 24 2019We have problems with our legs so some of the wet stones and steps near the river where very difficult but by retracting our steps going round the other way we got a good walk by returning the way we went up the walk. Good walk and good environment.
Sat Jul 06 2019Lovely trail, I personally tried to walk quite close to the river but if you do so be mindful cause it’s very slippery! If you follow the route, the trail is totally fine and safe. I found this trail very different than the Irish trails I’ve done so far, the atmosphere it’s absolutely stunning! 100% recommended.
Wed Apr 24 2019It's always my favourite place and I always recommend to my friends as first destination to explore near Limerick. My 3 year old enjoys the little adventure walking next to the river.
Thu Mar 28 2019This is still my fave walk ever. Stunning
Wed Feb 27 2019one of my favourite places to go for an easy yet enjoyable peaceful walk. When the Rhodedendron are in bloom it's stunning. Ample parking, picnic tables, toilets & kids play are also.
