The Burren Experience
A Tour of the Iconic Burren
The Burren is a vast memorial to a bygone age
At Kilnaboy: we will see the infamous ‘Sile na Gig’; a provocatively sculpted female figure set above the door of the ancient church here. We may make a short diversion to see the home of ‘Father Ted’ from a highly regarded and hilarious TV series.
The tour then takes us by a surprising phenomenon known as ‘Turlough’ or a disappearing lake.
‘Temple Cronan’, a 12th Century monastic site is next. It features an ancient holy well, an original shrine and some interesting burial tombs. This tour offers a real sense open Burren limestone landscape.
Poulnabrone Portal Dolman is a must see ancient burial site near the town of Ballyvaughan. This Dolman is older then the pyramids of Egypt.
This tour also includes an hours walk to and from Cahercommaun ancient fort. We will follow a stony path and hazel grove until the fort finally presents itself in three concentric rings of great stone walls.This fort was first studied by Harvard Academics in the 1930’s.
