Burren National Park

 

It is a famous Park in Ireland because of the unique barren karst limestone landscape. The whole area is full of clints and grikes, with small plants growing in the grikes and wherever there is shelter from wind.

Many big and small ponds and water comes out of the ground or go underground typical of the rock formation. Found to have 70% of all the wild flower species in Ireland, I will come back in spring and summer to see the bloom.

There are also 2 Dolmens, ancient graves built around 5200BC, a common feature in Europe,  this is one of the best preserved one, out of many, found in Ireland.
