About Ruan
An Ruán - The Alder. Ruan is a small village, and was the first stop on the old west Clare Railway which was operational until 1961. Situated close to Dromore Lake and woodlands (covering close on 1,000 acres), the area has a rich historical and archaeological heritage. Dromore is renowned for its diversity of flora and fauna. The five lakes of Dromore are one of the country’s prime fishing areas. The wood is a wildlife sanctuary and the animals of the forest include badgers, pine martens, squirrels and foxes. Two self guiding nature trails of approximately one hour exist within the woodland, starting at the main car park.
An Information Centre opens from June to September. Visit www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/places/ruaninterest.htm for further information.
