The Burren region borders on Galway Bay and looking west on the horizon are the fabled Aran Islands.. 'Burren' is derived from the Irish word boireann meaning 'place of stone', and the name could not be more apt. The Burren covers an area of some 260 square kilometres, Almost devoid of trees and surface water, it has been described as 'lunar' in its appearance. Surprisingly, this bizarre and apparently hostile environment is a botanist's paradise as around ¾ of Ireland's plant species are found in the Burren (more than any other region). This region of County Clare is also famous for its traditional music pubs - especially in the village of Doolin where we spend our first two nights.
Return ferry transport from Doolin to Inishmore is included on this tour.
