Burren Holiday Cottages
Lunar-like landscapes, an abundance of rare
wildflowers and no water or earth for mile after mile; these are
but a handful of the things which make the Burren such an
extraordinary place to visit. Sprawling for over 1,500 acres in the
centre of Ireland's beloved County Clare, the Burren National
Park is an outstanding area of natural beauty, and well worthy of a
day trip during your holiday in North West Ireland. We've a
handful of County Clare holiday cottages that lie within a
stone's throw of this astonishing landscape, offering the
perfect base for exploration and adventure.

Visitors to the Burren can look forward to
gazing upon a natural mosaic of Limestone pavements, Hazel
scrublands, Petrifying springs and enchanting woodlands, so be sure
to have the camera at the ready as you traverse this inspiring
landscape! The park benefits from a series of walking trails which
criss-cross for miles across the Burren's rugged surface. Hike
to the summit of Mullaghmore hill as part of the Mullaghmore Return
trail, returning to your Burren holiday cottage along the stunning
Crag Road. Step carefully among colourful wildflowers and ash
woodlands on the moderately challenging Slieve Carran route, or
hunker down amid the Burren's rich, emerald grasslands to try
spot the Buzzards and Coots which thrive within the region.
Alternatively, mount up and skirt the
mighty Cliffs of Moher on horseback at the Mountain View Horse
Riding Centre in the village of Doolin, or delve into the striking
Aillwee Caves at Ballyvaughan. For such a barren landscape,
there's a wealth of superb activities and attractions just
waiting to be discovered, so book your Irish holiday cottage in the
Burren today with Sykes Cottages!
