Burren Nature
The importance of the Burren's natural heritage - from karst features to rare orchids to beautiful butterflies - is recognised internationally.
Below you will find a listing of some of the best locations in the Burren to appreciate some of the Burrens rich natural heritage.
The people of the Burren welcome visitors to Ireland's most extraordinary landscape. However much of the limestone pavement is in private ownership and is being actively farmed, much of it in the traditional way that helps to maintain the natural eco-system of this amazing limestone landscape. So be careful if you are crossing private land and try to seek permission where possible before you enter obvious farmland.
Please do not disturb wildlife, pick flowers, damage pavements when visiting here - tread lightly on this fragile landscape.
