Irish Landscapes and Mountain Views

The Burren, Co. Clare

The Burren is a unique limestone region on the west coast of Ireland overlooking the Atlantic. The Burren means 'a rocky place' and this is certainly true as over 250 square kilometres is covered in amazing formations up in the hills and ending in the Atlantic as steep cliffs.  It is a beautifully contrasting  place to be with the sun setting over the sea in good weather and the ferocious winter storms brought in by the powerful Atlantic swells that forever change the shape of the coast. It is also home to a wide variety of rare plants that thrive in the limestone cracks. Many of these plants are to be found  mainly amongst the European Alps.
