Magic Mountain
They say the moon is made of cheese, but I think it could be limestone! The craggy terrain of the Burren is famously lunar in its appearance, its cracked grey stone peaking & troughing for acres upon acres. What first hits you is the silence. It’s a silence as layered as the undulating landscape itself, filled with the riches of Irish history, of aeons of stories, told & untold. Although the rock may appear bare and barren, the agricultural tradition is strong, dating back almost 6,000 years.
