The spectacular lunar
landscape of the Burren, with its limestone pavements, whipped
cream mountains and exotic flora and fauna, extends over 80 sq.
kms (30 sq. mls), and starts just down the road from here. It
really has to be seen to be believed.
Click Here for a taste of the area. This site gives lots of
information on the Burren - its landscape, flowers, megalithic
tombs, and the places of interest surrounding it. Also has links
to other Irish sites.
In 1991 it was proposed to build a visitors centre on
Mullaghmore, a site of rare natural beauty. There were huge
protests, and the
Burren
Action Group site tells the story so far. Also provides more
information on the Burren, and Mullaghmore in particular.
Visit the
Aillwee Caves - about 15kms (10mls) from the Boghill Centre,
this is the largest showcave in Ireland.
Or how about
The Burren Perfumery, with its Visitors' Centre with
comprehensive lecture and video on the Burren, plus locally made
fragrances etc.
