    Field Trip - the Burren and Cliffs of Moher

    Field Trip - The Burren and Cliffs of Moher Friday 24 August 2012 – Full Day The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top attractions- recently appeared in Harry Potter's Half-Blood Prince and of course the movie classic The Princess Bride! This tour is a MUST for any visitor to Galway. Taking you along Galway Bay, your first stop is at the fishing village of Kinvara to see Dunguaire Castle. The castle was built in 1520 by the O'Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. This restored 16th century tower house sits on a rocky outcrop on the shores of Galway Bay, 300 yards outside the village of Kinvara. We then travel on into The Burren- home to 75% of Ireland's native flora & location of numerous ancient monuments many of which we visit including the Gleninsheen Wedge Tomb, the 5,800 year old Poulnabrone Dolmen and Ballyalban Fairy Fort. We visit Aillwee Caves, perched high on its Burren terraced mountainside with what has to be one of the most spectacular views of Galway Bay. The tour consists of a 30 minute stroll through the beautiful caverns – over bridged chasms, under weird formations and alongside the thunderous waterfall which sometimes gently sprays the unsuspecting visitor! Marvel at the frozen waterfall and explore the now extinct brown bears bones (ursos arctos). Stopping also at Kilfenora to see the famous Celtic Crosses (Irish High Crosses), we make our way to the coastal village of Doolin, stopping for lunch, before visiting the 200-metre high, 8kms long Cliffs of Moher.

    Buses in the Burren 2014 a Study of the Impacts and Issues

    Buses in the Burren 2014 A Study of the Impacts and Issues January 2015 Funded by 1 Introduction This study on bus and coach tourism has been commissioned by the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark and has been funded jointly under TransTourism, the Northern Periphery Interreg IVB Programme and the EU LIFE + GeoparkLIFE Programme. The Burren is one of Europe’s most unique landscapes whose landscape and culture attracts increasing visitor numbers each year. The astonishing character of this karst region has evolved through a powerful combination of geology, ecology, archaeology, agriculture, history, heritage, commerce, creativity and community. These rich and diverse influences infuse the area with a haunting, spectacular and world-unique beauty. Tourism is a valuable source of income for many businesses and families in the region. The quality of the tourism product and the care with which it is offered are crucial attractions for visitors. It’s clear to all that tourism brings challenges as well as opportunities and that the unique natural assets of the region need to be protected and cared for. To ensure the protection and sustainable use of this natural resource, a co-ordinated approach to visitor management and environmental protection has been underway for over a decade implementing the principle of ecotourism in the area and linking environmental, community and tourism interests with statutory agencies and business operators. These efforts have been accelerate since the award of UNESCO recognised Global Geopark status in 2011. In order to plan more effectively for sustainable tourism practices in the area, the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark have commissioned this study to establish baseline information on the extent and impacts of coach tourism in the area.
