Other things to note We are only 1.2 km from the pubs in Ballyvaughan but the N67 is extremely narrow with no shoulder. Students from nearby Burren College of Art walk it (carefully and facing oncoming traffic) but high visibility vests are a must. Driving or a taxi is a better option for the less intrepid or large groups. Tom Connolly has a taxi service and is a nearby neighbour. There is also a hiking trail that can take you into town during the day.
