The Burren are about 500 sq.kms of lunar-like limestone landscape and surely one of Ireland's greatest attrctions. Its apparent bareness nurtures an internationally famous flora. Man has left a mass of evidence of having lived on the Burren for thousands of years. Material remains abound, including megalithic tombs, stone and earth ring forts, round towers, medieval churches, monasteries and castles. Burials took place in Poulnabrone and other dolmens over a period of 600 years from 5200 to 5800 years ago. The Burren coastline shows a dramatic and picturesque mixture of stone, beaches and a crystal clear blue Atlantic ocean. The Aran Islands are an extension of the Burren landscape. There are numerous caves, two of which, Ailwee Cave and Doolin Cave are open to visitors.
The green roads are the old Burren roads and are perfect to explore this landscape on short and long walks. The Burren Way is a signposted walking trail between Lahinch and Ballyvaughan. Guided Burren tours are available in the area.
