The Burren

by Terry Reilly

Harsh karst landscape hosts
 
limestone pavement, clints and grikes,
 
harbouring bright blue gentians.
 
 
Ferns, and orchids too,
 
attracting Brown Hairstreaks and
 
Pearl-bordered Fritillaries.

The Burren, in County Clare, western Ireland is a wonderland of Nature, owing its uniqueness to ancient glaciation. Large flat limestone slabs (clints) are riven by deep crevices (grikes) within the shelter of which flourish a profusion of lush flora, including rare orchids. The bright blue gentian is the symbol of the area. The two mentioned species of butterfly are only two of many to grace this landscape.
The place is magical. Please visit if you are able.
