The Burren
Sight / Landscape
The Burren is a unique karst area covering 1,150 hectares.
It is one of the most fascinating karst landscapes in Europe.
The area lies between the towns of Lisdoonvarna to the west, Gort to the east, Kilnaboy to the south and Ballyvaugham to the north.
The torn, bare, almost vegetation-free, grey-white limestone plateau is all the more eye-catching because of its rocky character in the otherwise evergreen Ireland.
In Irish, the area is called An Bhoireann Rocky Place.
In Edmund Ludlow´s memoirs of 1699, The Burren is said to be an area where there is not enough water to drown a man, not enough wood to hang him up, and not enough earth, to bury him.
