 Don't all push at once ! by sourbugger The Burren is the term for the upland area to the south of Galway. The area of quite outstanding natural beauty is shared with County Clare. There are many beautiful views, ancient dolmens and activities, but to me the cliffs of Mohar are the highlight of nay day trip to this area : You can tell where they are by the impressive selection of tour buses in the car park as you approach via a small country road covered in double yellow lines. This is of course designed to make you cough-up at least 2 Euro 50 for the car-park. At least entry to the cliffs is free. Once you avoid the "diddly-diddly" buskers (I think there is an Irish law which says there must be at least two at every Irish tourist site) on the approach path, the Cliffs themselves are quite breathtaking. There are a couple of lookout points (O'Briens tower) that you can then walk to in order to get a slightly different view. The tourist board claim they are the highest cliffs in Europe, but this would seem just a little contentious to say the least. I don't normally easily take fright of heights - but they scare the bloody bejesus out of me ! Leave a Comment Address: Cl;iffs of Moher, County Clare

by globetrott The BURREN - consists of vulcanic stones,within some thousands of years bits of that stoney ground corroded and plenty of different flowers are to be found between the rocks now. Nowhere in the world you will find these arctic, tropic,subtropic flowers next to each other. To go on these rocks makes a special sound. in the BURREN you will find some very ancient graves, so called DOLMEN , made completely of stone. Science still does not know, how these gravejards could be constructed. Leave a Comment Address: between CLIFFS OF MOHER and GALWAY

 the Burren by globetrott Walking on these stones makes a special sound, like big caves would be directely under your feet, and sometimes you may even hear small the drops of water running through canals under the rocks. Somehow spooky in the best sense ! Leave a Comment Directions: The Burren is a mainly south of Galway and on the Arran Islands

by Taistealai spend some time touring the Burren region in County Clare and County Galway This is an amazing area of western Ireland -- some of the rockiest land with lovely wildflowers, caves to explore, and ancient monuments to see. Please see my travelogue for more on my day in the Burren. Address: County Clare and County Galway

by globetrott The biggest problem, when exploring the Burren will be, that parkin-spaces are very limited and even for the most famous Dolmen there are no real parkings but places along the street that are a big wider, and at some times plenty of buses will block all spaces :-(( Leave a Comment

by globetrott The Poulnabr. Dolmen is the most famous of these ancient monuments - their purpose and the way it was constructed is still unknown. . This Dolmen might have been a grave and it more than 2 meters high Leave a Comment

by globetrott scrapes through the rocks seem to be artificial, but they came through erosion of the stones. Leave a Comment

the Barren is a unique area in Ireland- looks a bit like you're on the moon, but if you have a closer look, you can find a wide variety of plants. We went there on a bus trip that also included Pulnabrome( ?) Dolmen. Leave a Comment Address: County Galway
