===Physical geography=== [[File:Cliffs of Moher, Ireland (8577753321).jpg|thumb|right|The [[Cliffs of Moher]]]] Bodies of water define much of the physical boundaries of Clare. To the south-east is the [[River Shannon]], Ireland's longest river, and to the south is the [[Shannon Estuary]]. The border to the north-east is defined by [[Lough Derg (Shannon)|Lough Derg]] which is the third-largest lake in Ireland. To the west is the Atlantic Ocean, and to the north is [[Galway Bay]].

County Clare contains [[The Burren]], a unique [[karst]] region, which contains rare flowers and fauna. At the western edge of The Burren, facing the Atlantic Ocean, are the [[Cliffs of Moher]]. The highest point in County Clare is [[Moylussa]], {{cvt|532|m}}, in the [[Slieve Bernagh]]{{efn|Not related to the [[Slieve Bearnagh]] mountain in County Down.}} range in the east of the county.
