Get ready to explore a landscape that feels like another world at Mullaghmore, the heart of the Burren. You'll be walking over ancient limestone pavement, a truly unique experience, with spectacular views of the surrounding karst hills and valleys unfolding as you climb. There are several well-marked trails to choose from, with the popular Blue Loop being a 7.5km hike that typically takes 2 to 3 hours. The trailhead is a short walk down a country road from the parking lay-by, so wear sturdy boots as the terrain is uneven but absolutely worth it for the incredible scenery.
