Wear waterproof outer layers and boots with good grip; gaiters can help keep splashed water and mud out of shoes.
Facilities are available at the perfumery café; on-route options are limited, so plan accordingly before the walk.
The Burren’s stone fields preserve traces of Neolithic to medieval farming; many field walls and tombs date back thousands of years and reflect continuous pastoral use.
