Mermaid's Hole

Recorded cave place

What is recorded here

Mermaid's Hole is the longest of the known Green Holes, a submerged passage beneath Doolin Harbour in County Clare. It belongs to a restless cluster of caves where water, rock and memory collide, inviting cavers to test their limits in darkness. The name suggests a creature watching from below, yet the hole itself remains a measured fact: distance, depth and the risk of drowning.
The Irish Caves Database records Mermaid's Hole at Ballaghaline in County Clare. This point comes from its public cave register. A cave map point does not by itself grant access: check local conditions and ask the landowner where needed.
