THE BURREN
Set in the village of Carron, Co. Clare, the Michael Cusack Centre lies in the heart of the Burren, a vast limestone region of wild and rugged beauty. In scenic terms, its location is unrivalled.
The original homestead overlooks the largest turlough (disappearing lake) in Western Europe. The visitor centre offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. It really is a special place.
World famous for its unique ecosystem, the Burren is home to a dazzling array of flora and fauna. Providing the backdrop are stunning rock formations and mysterious underground streams.
Man and landscape
Man has also left his mark on this vast wilderness. Among the numerous relics of ancient civilisation are round towers, stone arches, high crosses, monastery ruins and holy wells.
