Burren National Park Trailhead at Kenny’s Cross/Gortlecka
Kenny’s Cross/Gortlecka is situated in the Burren National Park approximately 8km northwest of the Burren Information Point in Corofin. At this point you will find the trailheads for several waymarked trails of varying lengths and difficulties. The red, blue and green trails offer hikes over rugged terrain that take between 2.5 and 3.5 hours to complete and which all bring you to the top of the spectacular Mullaghmore hill. The orange and white trails offer shorter easy to moderate walks of 30 minutes to just under an hour. All of these trails take visitors through classic Burren habitats such as limestone pavement, stunning species rich grasslands, turloughs, ash/woodland, hazel scrub, cliffs and fen. The Burren National Park is the perfect place to experience the unique and diverse flora, fauna and geology of the Burren.
Slieve Carran Nature Reserve
Slieve Carran Nature Reserve, also known as Eagle’s Rock, lies in the eastern Burren. With typical Burren scenery, the nature reserve is a great place to experience the scenery and nature of the area. Here there are three striking and secluded hiking trails. Both the 1km pink loop and the 2.5km brown loop pass through open limestone pavement and areas of mature oak/ash/hazel woodland. This site also includes a stone oratory, a cave and a holy well associated with St. Colman MacDuagh, who reputedly set up a hermitage here in the 7th century.
