  Burren National Park

  The landscape of the Burren has been shaped by geological forces for hundreds of millions of years. The story begins in a tropical sea near the equator, includes the development of a major river delta, migration and collision of continents, the expansion and contraction of the polar ice caps and last but not least, the rain that sweeps in from the Atlantic. The rocks that make up the Burren were all formed during the Carboniferous period between 359 and 299 million years ago. In the Burren are there are two major rock types; the lighter coloured limestones to the north and east and the darker siltstones, shales and sandstones to the south west. The limestones which make up the typical bare Burren landscape were buried by the slightly younger siltstones and sandstones which make up the Cliffs of Moher. We have lots of opportunities for wonderful photo stops along the Wild Atlantic Way in the Burren Geopark. * Burren National Park can be selected from the full itinerary suggestions
