Ireland - County Clare - Doolin - Sunrise over Stunning Burren Beach

    Doolin is a coastal village in County Clare, Ireland, on the Atlantic coast. The Burren takes its name from the Irish word 'bhoireann' meaning, 'a stony place' or 'a rocky place', which is a good description for this 350 sq kilometres limestone plateau in North Clare. The rough, intriguing and attractive landscape was formed 320 million years ago under a tropical sea. Later it was shaped by ice, hard weather. One of Cromwell's generals, Ludlow, put in words what they thought of the Burren area: 'it is a country where there is not water enough to drown a man, wood enough to hang one, or earth enough to bury him'. The Burren may seem lifeless and barren, but that's not the case at all. Here, especially in early spring, you will find a unique mixture of alpine, arctic and Mediterranean plants, growing side by side.
