[Guided Tour] Gortlecka, Knockaunroe, County Clare
Trek Ireland in the Burren, County Clare
•
38m
Nothing quite prepares you for a stroll through native Irish woodland, with wildflowers interspersed with coarse grasses and heather at your feet.
Gortlecka provides the lucky traveler with a peaceful walk through the Burren, a rare geological landform that at once supports a huge variety of Irish flora and gives the beasts of the fields their best fodder through the winter season.
Tony Kirby of 'Heart of Burren Walks' gives a masterclass in understanding how this relationship works between nature, man, and animals as you move through the stony ground, dense woodland, and open meadow, soaking in the views along the way.
