Description
A view from above the small town of Ballyvaughan in Co. Clare across Galway Bay towards Co. Galway. The late 18th century Martello Tower can be seen in the distance.
This interesting region of the Burren in Co. Clare in the West of Ireland is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, and is so unspoilt. It is renowned for its limestone pavements, grykes, clints and alpine wildflowers. This image was taken at the northerly end of the National Park where the fields of rock suddenly turn in to green fields of grass beside the coastline.
Across the water, Galway Bay, is the equally impressive Connemara region where some of the Twelve Bens mountain range can be seen.
The Burren (Irish: Boireann, meaning 'great rock') is a region of environmental interest primarily located in northwestern County Clare, Ireland, dominated by glaciated karst (or sometimes glaciokarst[1]) landscape. It measures, depending on the definition, between 250 square kilometres (97 sq mi) and 560 square kilometres (220 sq mi). The name is most often applied to the area within the circle made by the villages of Tubber, Corofin, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, and Ballyvaughan, and Kinvara in extreme south-western Galway, including the adjacent coastline.
A part of the Burren forms the Burren National Park, the smallest of the six National Parks in Ireland, while the full Burren and adjacent territory including the Cliffs of Moher are included in the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark.
