The Burren
Burren means "rocky land" in Gaelic. This wonder of Ireland is found in County Clare. Look for the pearl-bordered fritillary (a butterfly) and the hoary rook rose (a flower). A general under the not-so-nice-to-the-Irish Oliver Cromwell described the area this way: "A savage land, yielding neither water enough to drown a man, nor tree to hang him, nor soil enough to bury." (Ahh, the eloquent words of war-trod brutes). The nearby village of Doolin is known for its traditional music.
