This family's experience:

Activities: We explored The Burren. We walked a small part of the Black Head Loop. "Das Weltreisekind hat großen Spaß daran, von Stein zu Stein zu hüpfen". We also stopped at Fanore Beach

Highlights: The area was a playground for young and old. The child enjoyed hopping from stone to stone. The stones and the puddles were fascinating. We enjoyed the pause at Fanore Beach ✨
