Burren National Park, National park in County Clare, Ireland.
The park extends across 1,500 hectares of limestone terrain with deep crevices called grikes separating large flat segments known as clints.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service established Burren National Park in 1998 as one of eight national parks in Ireland.
Ancient tombs and ring forts within the park boundaries reveal traces of human settlements that date back several thousand years.
Seven marked walking trails of varying difficulty levels guide visitors through different sections of the limestone landscape and woodland areas.
The park's limestone environment creates conditions where Arctic and Mediterranean plants grow side by side, contrary to their natural distribution patterns.
