Burren Farm Experience

0

Visit an authentic Irish beef farm set on nearly 500 acres in the heart of the Burren amidst dramatic geological landscapes, fascinating archaeological sites and unique habitats. There is so much to explore!

Working Farm

The O’Rourke family’s beef farm is a best practice example of traditional farming methods that have helped shape and conserve the Burren landscape for centuries. Hop aboard the farm’s tractor-trailer with comfy straw bales for a guided tour through mixed species grassland, deciduous woodland, hazel scrub and glacio-karst limestone pavement, famous for the arctic-alpine and Mediterranean plants living uniquely side by side. Discover how a real Irish farm works and learn about the ancient practice of transhumance – winter grazing – on the rough limestone grasslands and heaths, a vital component of region’s health and biodiversity.

Guided Walks

Discover the region’s breath-taking beauty by foot with five, eight and ten kilometre guided walks through National Park, glimpsing Mullaghmore from height and arriving at the glistening fresh water lake, Lough Bunny. Discover the history of the land, its captivating ancient monuments, and the link between the region’s archaeological and geological heritage and the work of generations of farmers.

Rustic Picnics & Food Trails

The crisp, clean Burren air can sure work up an appetite! Soak up the scenery and rest a while after the farm tour with a rustic picnic, or enjoy fresh local produce on our Food Trails with organic vegetables, locally sourced cheeses and wild oysters and scallops. A feast for the senses in every way imaginable!

Wellness & Rejuvenation

Enliven your senses and find your inner calm to boost wellness and a positive mindset. Indulge in outdoor yoga practice with experienced instructors, rest atop the restorative limestone pavement and experience the tranquillity of forest bathing in ancient woodland exclusive to the region. Connect with nature and the seasons for the ultimate rejuvenation.
