The Burren Perfumery

Doolin Caves

The cave’s most notable feature is the Great Stalactite. This is one of the world’s longest known free-hanging stalactites, reported to be 7.3 m (24 ft) in length. This figure is a matter of some confusion, however, as it is also variously described as being 11 m, 6.2 m and 6.54 m. It is the longest known free-hanging stalactite in Europe, the three largest in the world being located in two caves in Mexico and one in Jeita Grotto, Lebanon.
