The Beauty of the Burren

There is just something other-worldly about seeing megalithic tombs up close.  Poulnabrone Dolmon, in the Burren, predates the Egyptian pyramids.  The top stone is about 6 feet off the ground and just over 30 feet long- it's big!  Around this area of the Burren you will find approximately 70 other tombs.

The Burren has more than stones!  Here are a few places to visit in the Burren.
