The Cavan Burren

Suits: Multi-gen groups

Hike: Clare isn’t the only county with a Burren, you know. History is stacked like baklava in this discovery zone, with karstic limestone, Neolithic tombs, glacial erratics and 19th-century farmstead remains all bunched together in a mosey-friendly setting on the Cavan/Fermanagh border. Several trails include a 1.3km multi-access trail passing a dolmen, wedge tomb and sinkhole, or a 2.9km route running along bog-bridge; or you can do combinations of all (the Cavan Way passes through, if you want to make a Camino of it). I love the tagline ‘where Stone-Age kids played’. – PÓC

Start and Finish at: Interpretative Centre car park.

Level: Easy/Moderate.

Length / Time: 1.3km and up; allow at least 2 hours to explore.

Pack: A picnic is a good idea here — there are tables, and Cuilcagh Catering operates a food kiosk from 12-6pm on weekends and bank holidays through summer.
