The Burren, County Clare, Ireland

The vast, moon-like Burren in County Clare is one of Ireland's most compelling landscapes. Formed millions of years ago beneath tropical seas, the cool grey rock etched with crevices and cracks tumbles down to the blue Atlantic Ocean. The result is one of nature's most extraordinary phenomena: a huge rocky pavement dotted with rock formations and caves, as well as an incredible array of flowers, from native species to Arctic, Alpine and Mediterranean plants.
