SEPTEMBER 2016 : IRELAND : The Burren, County Clare




Today we walked the coastal path from Doolin to the Cliffs of Mohr,


An early morning cuppa in the comfortable Rainbow Hostel in Doolin.


Medieval structures around the town. County Clare is renown for its small castles.


As we began our walk there were many backpackers on the road, walking and catching buses to their next destination.



Our first few of the distant cliffs.



Following John on the well-marked path.


Views down to the limestone pavements on the coastline.



Ancient burial stones


Beautiful views up and down the coast.


Arriving at the cliffs. Maugie sharing some local knowledge.


It takes about and hour and a half to walk along the total area of the cliffs.


Kittywakes soaring in and out of nests. Puffins nest here from April to August.



A very happy crew after a fabulous walk.


Refreshments in the small town of Kinvara on the way home. We walked along the port looking at the Galway Hooker craft.


Mark was impressed with the bike maintenance station.


Such a pretty village, perfect place to finish the day.
