The geographic and historic interest is very high, but the signs are so poor that many of the dolmans and cairns are impossible to locate. May be more conducive to trekking.

It may seem strange but The Burrens happen to be one of my favorite places that I have visited so far in Ireland. The landscape is so unusual, I've never seen anything like it! We structured our trip around seeing spots related to The Father Ted tv series and a few other highlights in the area but the drive around... More

The Burren in County Clare means "rocky land" in Gaelic and consists of an enormous limestone plateau with little water, few trees and a scarce amount of soil.

Reasonably priced at €29 for 2 adults and 3 children (kids under 5 are... More

You can't really tell from the pictures how beautiful the Burren really is in person. We drove up along the coast from the Cliffs of Moher. It was stunning. It's definitely better to drive yourself than to see it as part of a tour because you can stop whenever you want.

Visited the Burren in November 2012. Spent a day driving this rocky outcropping of countryside. It has a beauty in it's own right. Almost 'out of this world' feeling, like how we would imagine the surface of the moon to appear. Loved our visit to County Clare. Hope to return again some day.
