The Burren plateau
of North-West Clare is internationally famous because of its
beautiful limestone landscapes and the remarkable flora of the
region as well as its rich archaeological heritage. It is the finest
example of a karstic terrain in Ireland, with a full assemblage of the curious
landforms and subterranean drainage systems that characterise these limestone
terrains.
The area also hosts 70 wedge-tombs (the most famous of
them being
Poulnabrone ), ring forts, caves
(most notable Aillwee
Cave ) castles
( Leamenagh Castle)
and a network of field walls
and hut circles You can drive in and around the
Burrenn several roads, but the only way to really
experience it is by foot! The green roads
are the old
Burren roads and are perfect to
explore this landscape on short and long walks. The
Burren
Walk is
a 40-km signposted walking trail between Ballyvaughan
and Lahinch .Don't
