Dromoland to Westport

Ennis Friary
Poulnabrone tomb from the New Stone Age (3000 BC) at the Burren. Archaeological excavations found 33 people buried here.

The Burren is a glaciokarst landscape 530 square kilometres in size. All the limestone on the surface was once covered by glaciers.

🚜 parked beside the pub. A quick Guinness for Farmer Joe. Because we take the back roads we have been stuck behind a lot of them. We have seen about 20 on the road today.
