Where To Go #1 (Burren National Park & Cliffs of Moher)

             This is a blog about some cool places that I might want to visit when I go to Ireland. I am going to Ireland in April. I will be in Ireland from April 1-10. I am also going with my friends, Ben, Max, and Caleb the first week of June, after my school gets out. These are some cool places that I might want to go when I am there.


1. Cliffs of Moher

      The Cliffs of Moher, are HUGE cliffs that run for 8 km along the Atlantic coast. The cliffs highest point from the water to the top of the cliff is 214 meters (or 702 feet) This place has been a tourist attraction for many years, and it has an amazing view! From the cliffs, you can see the Aran Islands off of the coast. On the cliffs, there is a tower named the O'Brien Tower. Below, is Images of the Cliffs of Moher and a view from the O'Brien Tower.

2. Burren National Park

      Burren National Park is a national park in Ireland. It has wild flowers, caves, and a lot of limestone and rocky places there. The word "Burren" comes from the word "Boireann" meaning rocky place. It is mostly rocky on the ground, and does not have a lot of soil on its ground. There is some cool stone statues made. Below, are images.

This is a cool Rock-like sculpture thing.
This is a birds-eve view of the park. As you can see, it is mostly rocky ground and little soil.
