Restaurants and Hotels can be pricey.
In a nutshell
Prehistory, landscape, flowers.....
eden_teuling Says: This is situated within the ground of Bunratty Castle where Irish life is vividly redreated. (some 26 acres....)It features over 30 BUILDINGS in a living village setting.Included are a display of 19th Century agricultural machinery (the TALBOT COLLECTION), 8 FARMHOUSES, 2...
AT CARRIGAHOLT & ON THE SHANNON.....

Aillwee Cave Cheese Shop, Gromit!
dustmon Says: To all of you Wallace and Gromit fans,(or Monty Python!) definitely stop at the cheese shop for some incredible Golden Burren cheese-----crackin' good! Aging in the caves makes the flavor wonderful!No Wensleydale.....
There are lots of Dolmen in the Burren
globetrott Says: Poulnabrone Dolmen is the most popular and also the most impressive Dolmen of Ireland but in fact it has many siblings, especially in the area of the Burren. In a distance of just about 50 meters you may find another similar such construction next to the parking where you...
globetrott Says: Leamaneh castle dating back to the 17th century is a well known landmark at the crossing of the roads R480 and R476 and you may use it when driving from Aillwee-cave in order to remember to turn right and drive to Kilfenora.Once upon a time Leamaneh Castle was one of the...
The Cliffs of Mohair are also part of the Burren
globetrott Says: The Cliffs of Moher are not at all the most spectacular cliffs that you will find in Ireland,(Slieve Leage in Co. Donegal for instance is much higher and more scenic ) but still they are one of the most popular tourist-attractions of Ireland.Back in the 19th century a clever...
The Aran Islands are a part of the Burren
globetrott Says: The Aran Islands (Inis Mor, Inis Meain and Inis Oirr) are also part of the Burren and they are also one of the most unique places in Ireland. There isnt any cartrafic on the aran Islands, but you may rent a scooter, a bike or take one of the many horse-carriages waiting...
The Burren-Centre in Kilfenora
globetrott Says: The Burren Centre in Kilfenora is an interesting museum about the special flora and fauna of the Burren and you will see what it looks like underneath the surface in the landscape. So maybe it is best to start to explore that museum first, before you enter the real landscape...
Aillwee Cave - why not on a rainy day
globetrott Says: Plenty of tourists are coming to the Burren mainly because of these caves, that are highly advertised in brochures all over Ireland, but in my personal opinion they are not really worth visiting, except on a rainy day maybe.It is also a pity that Aillwee Cave DOES NOT show...
globetrott Says: In the history-books Kilfenora was first mentioned in the year 1055 but in fact the tiny village of today dates back to the 6th century.Untill the 17th century the cathedral of Kilfenora was the largest church of the area, afterwards it burned down and only at a few places...
Poulnabrone is the most famous sight of the Burren
globetrott Says: The so-called Poulnabrone-Dolmen is one of the most famous sights of Ireland and you will see it in many postcards that you can buy in every part of Ireland. That is also the reason why thousands of tourists are visiting the Burren every month. This Dolmen dates back to 2500...
The Burren is a unique phenomenon of nature
globetrott Says: When you are driving or hiking through the area of "The Burren" on the West-coast of Ireland, you will first admire the wonderfull combination of the grey rocks and lovely, colorfull flowers : The "Burren" is an absolutely unique landscape and natural phenomenon, all of its...
Sagespot Says: Also known as the Portal Tomb, Poulnabrone Dolmen is one of Ireland's most photographed ancient monuments - a trademark tourist icon. For us - we visited just as the sun rose over the Burren horizon, there were no tourists, and only one other car that even passed us on the...
Gus O'Connor's Pub & others: Traditional Irish music & great food
globetrott Says: In the Burren you will find the small village of Doolin that has become one of the best places to listen to Irish Folk Music in several pubs. My link below will get you to a list of pubs in Doolin and one of them - unfortunatley without its own web-page, but at least an...
The Shannon-car-ferry from Tarbert to Killimer
globetrott Says: When you are driving along the south-west-coast of Ireland and are heading from Killarney or Trallee to the north, you might get the feeling that the only way to reach the Burren is via Limerick, driving along the river Shannon. In case that you are in a hurry, there is also...
How to get to the Aran Islands
globetrott Says: Inishmoore and also the other Aran islands are really worth a visit, while staying in the Burren and there are several ways how to get there :1) By plane is certainly the best way to get to Inismore and when you are lucky you will be able to take some great photographs of...
Aillwee Cave is not as Stunning as They Say
EPoodle Says: During my first trip to Burren I went to see the Aillwee Cave.It is advertised as something stunning and must see.I expected a cave a beautiful cave with lots of stalactite and stalagmite because that's what impresses me in caves. That's why I was willing to pay 12 € to...
Coastal road from Cliffs to the north
EPoodle Says: Most of the travel guids lead people from Cliffs of Moher inland to the Dolmen or something like that.That way you miss a beautiful coastal scenary. Local people told me to do so and I was very happy to have listened to them.The road is a bit worse than inland, but it is...
Sagespot Says: The road through the heart of the Burren, the R480 runs south from Ballyvaughan to Leamanegh Castle, where it joins the R476, which runs southeast to Corofin, and northwest to Kilfenora. Travel south from Ballyvaughan (on the N67) and turn east before Corckscrew Hill at the...
Cliffs of Moher - Visit in the Evening?
EPoodle Says: People say that Cliffs of Moher must be seen during the sunset.First of all, it is quite difficult to see sun in Ireland (joking....a bit :)) so if you are not there several days, you might not have a choice.I saw Cliffs more than once. For me, they were the most impressive...
