Burren Aran Islands Walking Guide

The Burren and the Aran Islands contain a unique combination of flora, fauna and terrain, which attracts large numbers of walkers annually.

From the rugged interior to the spectacular coastal scenery, from challenging upland walks to shorter road and waterside excursions, this is a guide to some of the best walking routes in the area. Tony Kirby has put his considerable experience as a walking guide to great use in compiling an easy-to-use guide, which introduces the best of this region for locals and visitors alike. Each route, prefaced with a quick-reference summary, is illustrated with a colour map; descriptions include detailed access information while points of interest are highlighted - geology, flora and fauna, history, archaeology and folklore - to enhance the walker's enjoyment and appreciation of this distinctive landscape.
