The Burren and Cliffs of Moher have been recognised among the world's most significant geological landmarks, joining renowned sites like Mt Vesuvius and Yosemite Valley. The site has been designated as one of the Second 100 IUGS Geological Heritage Sites, as part of a prestigious programme managed by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).

This honour highlights the Carboniferous evolution of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher, marking it as one of the best demonstrations of geologic features worldwide. The inclusion was announced at the 37th International Geological Congress in Busan, South Korea, following a nomination led by Dr. Eamon Doyle, Geologist with the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark.

It’s a fantastic recognition for County Clare, further elevating the region’s global geological importance. We are passionate about this area and helping to educate our visitor's on it's significance.

Monday is now my favourite day of the week it's when our social farmers from come to help, always fun whether we are foraging, farming or weeding! Thanks for all your hard work lads, many hands make light work!
For us sustainably is about much more than economics it's about community and inclusion.

This review almost brought a tear to my eye

1000 characters isn’t near enough to properly describe what a wonderful time we had at The Burren Farmhouse. The scenery? Absolutely breathtaking. The house? Beyond lovely and comfortable. The hosts? Bronaugh has to be the single greatest human I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in my 38 years of life, and when I say we’ll miss her after leaving I actually mean it. She made us feel welcome and right at home, and was there for us anytime we needed anything. To be honest we felt almost like family, and coming from the US I’m not used to that. In general the Irish have been so welcoming, so much so that it will be difficult to go back home! I know I’m being a bit long-winded, but I just had such a wonderful experience staying here and seeing all the beauty the farm and the Burren had to offer that I felt inclined to leave a novel here. We will most certainly be back again, and hopefully soon!

Thank you for your kind words Lynn it was lovely to meet you all.

This is our first visit to Ireland and our Burren Farm Experience is certainly a highlight of our trip! Branagh and Cathal are so welcoming, we quickly felt like old friends. We got up close time with the animals and Cathal kept us in stitches sharing tales of each cow and their various personalities. Branagh is a born hostess, sharing her gift of hospitality through warm conversation and delicious treats. We loved the stunning views from the property were particularly delighted on our walk through the woods to the nearby lake. We highly recommend you add this unique experience to your Ireland itinerary!

The Burren Farm Experience

You are joining a dynamic duo with husband and wife, Cathal is a 5th Generation farmer he has studied farming aquiring a Green Certificate in Agriculture and has been working on the land for over thirty years since he was a young child being taught his trade by his late father John. I'm Bronagh aka "the wife" recently completed a tour guiding course we are very passionate about this unique area of conservation. Together with our three daughters we are custodiands of the land and endevour to farm with concervation in mind. Farming is intergral to the character and composition of the Burren. The ancient transhumance practice of winter grazing on the rough limestone grasslands has been proven to be critical to the health and diversity of the habitats and species therein.

Our farm is in The Burren National Park, so you will get to see something very spectacular and special never seen by the public before, we have decided to diversify and add an ecotourism aspect to what we do. We have been asked to bring groups and individuals around for years many times and we feel now is the time, so lucky you, you're among the first to see what we have to offer! We are the only working farm in the area open for tours of this kind which gives you an insight into what we do as dry stock beef farmers. You will be warmly welcomed by Cathal and Bronagh at our farmyard. We will bring you for a ride on our tractor trailer with comfy straw bales for seating through our almost 500 acre farm of mixed species-rich grassland, deciduous woodland, hazel scrub and glaciocarst limestone pavemant internationally famous for arctic-alpine and mediterranean plants living side by side which is unique to this area. Passing livestock and many interesting historical remains. We will then take a hike 5km/8km through the National Park to majestic Lough Bunny Lake which is of global importance and the centre of a unique karstic wetland system. All the while being educated about the lands history, what we do as beef farmers and the unique biodiversity of this special area of conservation. Rest and rejuvenate over a rustic picnic taking in the spectacular surroundings and fresh air.
