The Burren National Park, managed by the National Parks & Wildlife Service, is

famed for its unique geology and botanical diversity. Established in 1991 as Ireland’s

fifth National Park, it is situated on the south-eastern edge of the Burren region and

has a present area of approx. 2,000 hectares with way-marked walking trails to be

enjoyed. Within the National Park, all of the main habitats typical of the Burren

landscape are to be found, including limestone pavement, hazel scrub, lakes,

turloughs, springs, fens and orchid-rich grassland.

Our National Park Guide staff provide free guided walks and environmental

education services and are based in the Information Point in Corofin village where

you can get more information before visiting the National Park. The Information Point

houses a small informative exhibition on the geology, nature and management of the

park as well as providing toilet facilities. A free shuttle bus service runs from here to

the trailhead in the park every half hour, 7 days a week, from the beginning of May to

the end of August.

Our team of Rangers and General Operatives are responsible for environmental

conservation, species and habitat monitoring and maintenance work in the National

Park areas.
