Burren Hill Walks - Guided Heritage and Archaeology Tours

What to Expect

Burren Hill Walks offers twice-daily guided walks throughout the year across the limestone plateau of the Burren, exploring one of the richest archaeological and botanical landscapes in Western Europe. Each walk covers multiple heritage topics: the 75 Neolithic wedge tombs, Iron Age ring forts and field systems, early Christian churches, medieval monasteries and the fulachta fiadh (ancient cooking sites) that dot the plateau. Walking guides also cover botany, wildlife, geology and the traditional farming practices that have maintained the Burren’s unique character for millennia. Walks are tailored to group ability.
