North Clare and its Burren landscape is a barren, yet breath taking part of the country, writes Mimi Murray. There are many diverse and exceptional places to visit along the Wild Atlantic Way, but north Co Clare, with its glaciated karst limestone landscape, known as the Burren, stands out. Close by is the Fort, built in the 10th century AD, it remains one of the best preserved stone forts in Ireland. You’ll experience some of the best views of the Burren, stretching across to Galway Bay, from the house. The proprietors of the Tavern also own The Burren Smokehouse, just a few doors down and we dropped in the next morning.
