Burren National Park, Corofin

Stunning hikes. Beautiful scenery. I saw rainbows everywhere. There were like nine different kinds of weather in one afternoon so bring all kinds of different clothing. Highly recommend!!!!

I found fossils at the top! If you like that sort of thing, this place is good for finding them. I found my first amonite here. I don't do the spandex and two sticks sort of hiking. I wear my leather boots, which have good grip but aren't from mountain wearhouse. The 'red route' was easy enough for myself and my partner - neither of us are that sporty and the view from the top was a blessing! We were lucky with the sunlight and it suited the heat there. The bleak hills became like a desert. There were lovely goats all over the place and strange stones about.

Not sure if it was just Google maps taking us on an adventure but we travelled along many narrow farm type roads to get to the Burren national park. It's unusual to experience a park that consists of rock formations as far as the eye can see. The rocks were amazing and we wish we had more time to explore a bit longer and do a few hikes. We still enjoyed this special terrain none the less

Uniquely beautiful national park in county Clare. The nature and the scenery is stunning, worth a visit if you’re around. For hiking enthusiasts, Burren offers a lot of hiking trails of varying difficulty and length. Don’t miss a chance to visit Father Ted’s house that’s only up the road from the park’s entrance!

If you're keen on Geology, great photographic shots, and a bit of history, this is then a definite add to your 'Ireland bucket list'. The Burren is renowned for its remarkable assemblage of plants and animals, and over 70% of Ireland's species of flowers are found there. It's quite a drive but the views are incredible, take with your hiking boots and enjoy the trails.
