"Wild Ireland": The Burren in Spring, County Clare, Ireland

The rocky landscape that we see today is not just the result of glacial erosion and natural weathering, but also 6,000 years of agricultural activity. The Burren has been settled since the Mesolithic and boasts a cornucopia of archaeological monuments from the stone walled field systems and megalithic structures of the Neolithic, including the well preserved portal dolmen at Poulnabrone, to later Bronze Age settlements, Iron Age hill forts and Medieval churches. A landscape rich in both nature and lore, the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark, managed by Clare County Council, is a member of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network.
Walkers will be amply rewarded by the extraordinary preservation of natural and cultural heritage; the extent of the limestone pavement with its sculpted surfaces, cliffs and whorls; shady narrow country lanes lined with hazel scrub; reed fringed aquamarine turloughs and dramatic views of the wave washed Wild Atlantic Way coastline that includes the famous Cliffs of Moher. The Burren in spring is the very stuff of dreams as the landscape is literally misty with flowers.
We consider the Burren in County Clare, to be Ireland's most unusual, striking and memorable landscape. It is our favourite part of this island. Featuring panoramas, time-lapse and medium close-up shots of the various flowers, our footage, to make the fourth in our 'Wild Ireland' series, was captured in 4K over three visits from early-May to mid-June, when the flora is at its very best. Enjoy!

Amazing "Wild Ireland"

Stephen Allen, Great film I lived at a little house called Norman Grove on the burren. This film had me in tears even after 25 years . Tears of complete joy.
-
Finally a film that captures the beauty of the burren. I spent most of my childhood here because my dad is the head geologist of the burren, we were always out on the coast and pavement collecting fossils and caving and hiking to find the best views.

Beautifully made film that captures the unique beauty of this special place. I lived in Ballyvaughan (Bishopsquarter) for eleven years having spent the previous ten building a home there (weekends only). I'm still in Clare but my heart is buried in that limestone pavement overlooking Bishopsquarter beach.

Да, суровое место. Научиться в нем жить и называть это прекрасным. Говорят мы на небесах выбираем себе землю... и потом живем на ней. Спасибо за фильм

Thank you Martin. It's a wonderful video. I haven't been for years but I'm definitely going back soon. Thanks for introducing me to Alexi Murdoch. For a brief second I though it was Nick Drake. Very relaxing and a great showcase for the area.

Martin/Sharron, a captivating film from start to finish. The images are so clear and vibrant i felt i could reach out and touch some of those flowers. The Burren really comes alive in your various captures of the life, landscape and weather. The close up shots are exceptional. As always the soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment. Brilliant stuff :-)
