The Burren, Galway, Ireland

After two very enjoyable days in Killarney, the direction was north, destination Galway. Instead of taking a more direct route, we drove through ”The Burren”, which contains one of Ireland’s National Parks.

The Burren is an example of a Karst lanscape of bedrock incorporating a vast cracked pavement of glacial-era limestone, with cliffs and caves, fossils, rock formations and archaeological sites.

And so on to Galway, a harbour city on the West Coast, where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. Our accommodation is the Nox Hotel, within walking distance of the town centre.
