Located in the south-east Burren, and extending up to 1,150 hectares, the Burren National Park contains a spectacular diversity of high quality Burren habitats. These include terraced limestone hills (some with unique folding patterns), turloughs, woodlands and spectacular limestone pavements.
The Park features a full range of Burren flora, including many rare species such as the shrubby cinquefoil and turlough violet. An array of archaeological features, from field walls to wedge tombs, are also visible, so be sure to allow at least one half-day to explore this utterly fascinating environment. No admission fee, but please take great care not to damage this precious place when visiting.
