More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a narrow lane and the limestone underfoot changes the rhythm of your walk — flat, fractured slabs that throw light and shadow across tiny pockets of wild thyme and hardy grasses. The climb toward Mullaghmore opens a low, wind-scoured summit, and the view rolls out: patchwork fields, Atlantic glints, and the geometric ribs of karst that make the Burren unmistakable.
