The wind off the Atlantic pushes low fog across a shelf of rock, and an air‑conditioned people‑carrier hums east from Cork as lanes narrow and green fields open into the Burren’s grey limestone. Within hours you step from the warmth of the vehicle onto a cliff edge where the ocean dares you to look down: sheer faces, foaming surf and seabirds riding gusts.

History

Conservation
Stick to marked paths to prevent erosion and disturbance to nesting seabirds; local operators support low‑impact visits and ask that visitors carry out litter.
