The Burren, County Clare, is 10 square miles of limestone pavement,
bounded on one side by the Atlantic. See below the ballyvaughan walking club

In Spring the Burren is home to rare orchids and alpine flowers,

like the Fly Orchid and Spring Gentian.

 

Also feral goats,

swans, including, this winter, a pair of black swans on the flaggy shore,

  

And the rare Burren green moth- amongst others.

Yesterday I climbed up Abbey Hill, past St Patrick's holy well, to the summit of Slieve Carron

 - this was the view from the top looking out to Aughnish and Galway Bay.

I love the Burren
