12 Things To Do in Doolin this October Bank Holiday
All counties in Ireland are currently on Level 3 of the Government’s five-level plan, which means that you must stay within your home county until at least the 27th of October 2020. Although you can’t leave your county and a lot of local attractions and indoor cultural venues have had to close during this time, there is still plenty to do and see over the bank holiday weekend this October. The great outdoors awaits you in your home county of Clare, and with hotels being allowed to open to residents only, it’s the perfect time to take a staycation in Clare. We’ve put together 12 things to do in Doolin this October Bank Holiday Weekend for some staycation inspiration!
