At the caves, you can embark on a guided tour, consisting of a 30-minute stroll through the beautiful caverns – over bridged chasms, under weird formations and alongside frozen and active waterfalls! The Birds Of Prey Centre is home to eagles, falcons, hawks, and owls. Here, you can watch flying displays, or even go on a "Hawk Walk" led by falconers around the Burren.
The Burren is a region of County Clare in the southwest of Ireland. It’s a karst landscape of bedrock incorporating a vast cracked pavement of glacial-era limestone, with cliffs and caves, fossils, rock formations and archaeological sites. The Burren National Park is open all year round and is free to access. There are five marked walking trails in the Park that take you through many different fascinating and beautiful habitats, such as species-rich limestone grasslands, hazel/ash woodlands and limestone pavements.
