Burren National Park

Was a very lovely hike, we parked the car at the visitor center then caught the free shuttle bus to the trail head, the free shuttle bus is every half an hour and first come first serve, around 16 seats only. Was doing the blue trail ourself, luckily it was a dry day otherwise I guess it would be really slippery and one needing some good grip shoes! The staff st visitor center were friendly and helpful.

A fabulous place to visit, unique in the world. You have to go there to appreciate how other worldly it is. Very beautiful, amazing scenery.

At first glance, it seems very desolate but once you start hiking, it is full of beauty - wildflowers, striking vistas, and rare birds. We were there in late May and I would strongly recommend parking your car in Corofin and taking the free National Park shuttle from the visitor center (all parking spaces at the trailhead were full). We took the blue trail - it rained a bit, making the rocky trails slippery so good hiking shoes/boots and a pair of hiking poles are helpful. The goats on the cliff faces were considerably more agile than we were (see photo)!

Lovely trails to walk with gorgeous views. The paths were very well marked the whole way. I would say moderate difficulty, rocky and keep an eye on your feet but not bad, some short steep sections but very doable if fit.

If you’re interested in geology and ecology then this is the place, otherwise better to go to cliffs of mohrr directly.

Burren National Park, located in County Clare, is a unique landscape of limestone pavements, rich biodiversity, and stunning vistas. Known for its rare flora and fascinating geology, it's a haven for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The park offers well-marked trails and opportunities to explore its distinctive karst formations. A visit to Burren National Park promises a captivating experience of Ireland's natural beauty.

I have never seen a more captivating limestone landscape in all my life. Marvel at the grikes and clints on one of the many spectacular hiking trails, and feel as if you're walking on the very moon. The trails are well-signposted. On one of the walks you can even spot a certain house from a famous Irish TV series in the distance.

There's so much to explore here. Drive down one lane roads and take hikes to discover landscapes, wildflowers, and how water has carved the cracks in the limestone throughout the park. And then there are the boulders.
