Burren Farm Experience is a family-run farm tourism business based in Boston, County Clare, offering guided outdoor experiences that highlight the natural and agricultural character of the Burren. The operation is led by a 5th‑generation farmer who brings generational knowledge of local land use, plant life, and limestone landscapes.
The primary offering, Burren Discovery Walk & Taste — Public Event, is a guided walking tour across the Burren that combines geology, local history, and traditional farming practices. Participants follow accessible routes through limestone pavement and past historical sites while the guide explains unique flora, habitat interactions, and practical farming methods used on the property. Each walk concludes with a tasting of farm‑fresh treats, giving visitors a direct taste of local produce and farming traditions.
Tours are suitable for a wide range of ages and levels of fitness, and are presented as public events that welcome individuals, families, and small groups. Safety and respect for the landscape are central to each experience: the guide emphasizes low‑impact walking, local biodiversity protection, and clear practical guidance for participants.
Burren Farm Experience positions itself as a trusted local operator through multi‑generational expertise, on‑farm interpretation, and direct connection between food and place. The business focuses on authentic, educational outdoor experiences that celebrate the Burren and County Clare farming heritage.
