The Burren and The Aran Islands, Tony Kirby - The Burren and the Aran
Islands, with their unique combination of flora, fauna and landscape, are
explored by large numbers of walkers annually. This is a guide to some of
the best walking routes in the region, with lucid descriptions and
additional information to enhance the walkers enjoyment and appreciation of
the place. From the rugged interior to spectacular coastal scenery, from
challenging upland walks to shorter road and waterside excursions, this
selection has something for everyone. Every part of the region is covered.
Walks vary from two-hour strolls to the longer Burren Way, a six-hour walk
from Lisdoonvarna to Ballyvaughan. The author has put his considerable
experience and detailed knowledge of the area to great use in putting
together an easy-to-use guide that introduces the best of this region for
locals and visitors alike. Each route, prefaced with a quick-reference
summary, is illustrated with a clear sketch map; descriptions include
detailed access information while points of interest are highlighted
geology, flora and fauna, history, archaeology and folklore. Published May
