Corofin is a charming rural village. Its thirteen lakes together with the river Fergus that runs through the village are renowned for their angling and were the setting for Barker's book "An Angler's Paradise". It has a number of restaurants and pubs with much musical entertainment, especially at weekends. This includes traditional Irish music for which Clare is famed.

Corofin is regarded as the 'Gateway to the Burren'. The Burren national park is a unique geological landscape of considerable scientific and historic significance. It is home to many species of rare native flora. It has the most dense distribution of prehistoric tombs found anywhere in Ireland with approximately 20 wedge tombs in the parish of Corofin alone. The Poulnabrone Dolmen, Ailwee Caves, Cliffs of Moher, Mullaghmore, castles, monastic sites and many fine beaches and golf courses (including the world famous Lahinch links course) are all within a short drive of Railway View.
The bustling and charming town of Ennis with its narrow streets and excellent night life is eight miles to the east. Boats can be taken from Doolin to the Aran Islands. Amongst the most popular activities enjoyed by visitors to this part of Clare are angling, golf, surfing, walking, cycling and equestrian.
