The word Burren means ‘great rock’ and the region is described by as ‘Karsh’ after a similar tract of country in slovenia. It is a strange lumar of bare corboniferous limestone ,occupying some 100 square miles near the town of lahinch Corofin Ballyvaughan
Rain falling on the Burren pavements pours right through and as it does, the acid rain dissolves the limestone and creates caves and potholes which flood in the winter
