Local Area Details

The Burren is a 300 sq km area of limestone rock covering the majestic hills and tranquil valleys of Clare. Explore the large collection of ring forts, and 1000 year old stone walls, or wander amongst the lakes, created by an underground network of streams that dramatically flood the surrounding area in winter, only to disappear completely by the summer. Green roads once used for hearding cattle to the upland for winter grazing noBallyportry is situated a mile from the village of Corofin in County Clare, on the Corofin-Gort road, which skirts the Burren. It is an hour’s drive from Shannon Airport and about a four hour drive from Dublin make
superb walking routes.
Plants and flowers from the mediterranian and arctic regions that would normally not grow together in the same lattitude do so in this important distinctive landscape of limestone hills and fertile pockets of grassland. 7 lakes can be seen from the top of Ballyportry, and there is lake fishing near by and deep sea angling from Liscannor, a harbour beside the 800 foot Cliffs of Moher.

The Burren is an important geological and botanical nature reserve as well as a bird sanctuary and archaeological paradise.
There is hiking, pony-trekking and angling on the nearby lakes. Visitors can enjoy traditional Irish music in pubs within the area, and there is a good choice of restaurants. 45 minutes away, is the famous surfing beach of Lahinch
with Atlantic rollers and on the more sheltered Galway Bay there is another sandy beach at Fanore
