The Burren Centre - Gateway to the Burren

In the picturesque village of Kilfenora, The Burren Centre gives the visitor an introduction to the visual delights and ancient mysteries which await to be discovered in this unspoiled corner of Ireland.

This walk through time will take you back to a time when this area lay beneath a warm tropical sea. Follow the story of the formation of the Burren's lunar landscape where man hunted bear, and wolves roamed the forests.

See how, thousands of years ago, man left his mark on the landscape in the form of Dolmens, burial chambers, megalithic tombs and monuments older than Egypt's pyramids. They still stand today, stone sentinels at the gates of our civilisation's history.

Opening Time:

Open mid March - end October. Daily 10am-5pm (Jun, Jul & Aug 9.30am-5.30pm)

Admission Charge:

Adults €6; OAP/Student €5; Child €4; Family (2 adults & 3 children) €20
