Guided Driving Experience

Just sit back and relax as we take you on the drive of lifetime. There will be plenty of opportunities to step out of the vehicle and explore along the route..

If you’re looking for a less vigorous experience in the Burren but don’t want to miss out on any of the spectacular landscape, then this is the option for you. Relax and enjoy this unique experience of driving over
a karsk limestone mountain.

The Experience

Drive with us over our mountain farm taking the route of the herdsmen of long ago to bring their cattle to the mountain for the winter. The track is over 6 miles / 10km long rising to heights 1,000ft (300m) above sea level. We will tell you about our life and how we farm in the Burren.

We stop many times to show you relics of mountain life thousands of years ago, such as forts, turf tiles, and magnificent examples of dry stone walls. We encourage our guests to get out of the vehicle and walk on the limestone paving, smell the magnificent flowers, examine the ancient relics or stand on the cliff edge.

The Silence

Experience the magic and tranquillity of this unique Burren landscape as you have the entire Karst mountain to yourself.
Breathe in the silence and space of this lunar landscape and feel yourself reconnecting to Nature. No one can fail to be moved by the silence and the absence of human intervention.
Look around and see nothing to tell you what century you are in – no houses, no electricity poles, no structures of any type – just nature at its best.

The Finale

When the drive is over, we return to the farmyard for a cup of tea and a chat as is traditional when visiting friends in Ireland.

As you leave, we hope that you will have a greater understanding of the Burren and its people and appreciate what a special place this really is.

Exploring Burren's Natural Wonders

What Our Clients Say

A truly wonderful experience and an extraordinary visual experience when I admired these beautiful Irish views. I think Fanore is one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. I can wholeheartedly and honestly recommend Burren Mountain Tours, because you will not be disappointed. Anne and John are very nice people whose knowledge of vegetation and the animal world can really arouse admiration among listeners. I rate my trip 10/10.

The farmer's wife takes you on a 7 km walk on their own mountain and tells you all about the beautiful Burren landscape, the fauna and flora. They deliberately keep it small-scale, which makes it unique. Highly recommended.
