  • Burren Hill Walks

    These walks, an ideal introduction to the geology, natural history, botany, archaeology, history, agriculture, and conservation of the region, are led by Shane Connolly, an experienced walking leader in the Burren whose interests include place names, stone wall construction, and folklore. Most Burren flora and many archaeological sites are encountered on routes, which take the visitor to the heart of the Burren. The walks explore different areas of the Burren and last from one to six hours. Most can be completed by all age groups, with some requiring substantial footwear.
