General presentation
Falaises de Moher et Burren
Atlantic falsies, karst plateau, dolmens, musical villages and very singular mineral landscapes.
Cliffs of Moher, The Burren and Poulnabrone dolmen give the most telling landmarks of the Falaises of Moher and Burren. Together, they make up a destination where the coastline, natural spaces, heritage and countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: strong wind and very frequented. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Fales
Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher impress by the sharp break between the grassy plateau and the Atlantic, with cliffs that take different colors according to the light. Even in the developed areas, the wind and the exhibition remind us that the place remains a powerful landscape; it is better to plan time rather than a quick stop.
Calcareous landscape
The Burren
The Burren offers a mineral Ireland, almost abstract, where limestone slabs, cracks, walls and low flowers make up a very different landscape from the nearby coasts. A short walk is enough to feel this strangeness, but the place speaks more when you slow down and you observe the ground as much as the horizon.
Megalithic site
Poulnabrone dolmen
Poulnabrone dolmen The site is easy to access, but it is better to be approached without haste: the strength comes from the contrast between the megalithic structure, the silence of the plateau and the very low lines of the landscape around it.
