Description

C1544. CATEGORY: Location – Ireland
TYPE:  Vintage Color Postcard (Continental, 4x6)
DESCRIPTION: “The Burren (Great Rock) is a plateau occupying a vast area in north Clare.  It rises in the south from the foothills above Kilnaboy and Kilfenora, is bounded on the east by the Gortaclare Mountains, and is contained in the west by the Atlantic Ocean.  Its highest peak, Slieve Elva, overlooks Galway Bay and the Aran Islands.  It is an area of scenic attractions – wild and lonely but picturesque – where the clear light, reflected from the stone-grey hills, seems to radiate an air of timelessness, which is made more realistic by the presence of many prehistoric remains that dot the fields and valleys beneath.  The Burren is of particular interest to archaeologists, botanists, speleologists, zoologists, ornithologists, etc.”
