BRITISH ISLES #18 -- IRELAND

Yesterday  we  toured  the  Burren ,  a  unique landscape  near Doolin  Ireland  on the Wild  Atlantic  coast. The  stark geology  is intriguing. The  area  was  first  inhabited  by  humans  about  6000  years  ago  and  there  are  hundreds  of  historic  stone  structures  including  dozens  of  Iron  Age  stone  forts. Wildflowers  proliferate  in the crevices  between the limestone  formations.
