Next stop on our trip round the Burren is the spectacular sight of Poulnabrone Dolmen which you’ll find a 15 minute drive from The Burren Centre at Kilfenora.

One of the most iconic images of The Burren, this megalithic portal tomb (as shown here in this incredible photo by ) can be found in a desolate spot on the Burren highlands.

The tomb is surrounded by the famous limestone pavement, with the wild flowers creeping out of its cracks (or grykes) while a number of erratics are also deposited nearby. This variety of spectacle makes it a perfect spot for visitors to stop, discover and explore.

There is also a wealth of information about the tomb itself, the landscape and geology at the site, which we won’t spoil for you by repeating here.

Go and discover for yourself the magic of The Burren!

Kilfenora's Cathedral will be open to the public over Easter (Thurs-Mon, 2-5pm), and feature an art exhibition relating to stations of the cross. And on Good Friday evening (7-8pm) there will be a performance of music and poetry - all are welcome. These activities reflect the CoI's desire to see this historic building used more for both religious and community purposes, even while funding is sought for repairs. So come and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and unique features of this ancient space.
