The Burren

The Burren is a landscape of mostly limestone covering 320 square km that is home to over 70% of Ireland's native plantlife. On our tour to the Cliffs of Moher, we first went to a cottage on a hill where you could see the expansiveness of the surrounding landscape. It was very tiring, but the views were worth it. I didn't understand much of what our guide said, but he mentioned that the few houses that are in the area tended to be black and white to withstand the sun and cold alike. The area was originally where they took animals to graze.
