The Burren

Hiking the Burren this past Sunday, with the University's Mountaineering Club

The Burren is a region of mountains and limestone in County Clare (about an hour south of Galway).

Its Irish name is Boireann, which supposedly means either "great rock" or "stony place."


Incredible views, and incredible wind

Cattle kept at surprising heights in the mountains
