Burren Visitor Info Burren Code

The people of the Burren welcome visitors to Ireland's most extraordinary landscape. The Burren may look rugged, but it is a fragile place and is under threat from increased human activity.
    
The people who live in the Burren depend on the landscape for their livelihoods based on agriculture and tourism. The limestone pavement, flora and built heritage are the resources on which tourism in The Burren thrives. Respecting and conserving this resource will sustain the community’s wellbeing.

Support The Burren Code and help protect the limestone pavement, plants and built heritage of this irreplaceable ‘fertile rock’.
 
 

The Burren code is an intiative designed to inform people as to appropriate behaviour when  visiting the Burren. This Code may be downloaded for future reference through clicking on the pdf link below.

The Burren code was first published under the Burren Tourism and Environment Initiative - ajoint initiative between Clare County Council, Duchas and Shannon Development.
