The Burren Way (Шаблон:Irish place name)[1] is a long-distance trail in County Clare, Ireland. It is Шаблон:Convert long, begins in Lahinch and ends in Corofin, crossing The Burren, one of the largest karst limestone landscapes in Europe.

The trail, typically completed in five days,[2] comprises sections of tarmac road, boreen, droving road, path and forestry track.[2] It is designated as a National Waymarked Trail by the National Trails Office of the Irish Sports Council and is managed by the Burren Way Committee.Шаблон:Sfn

Route

The trail begins at the beach at Lahinch and follows minor roads to reach the Cliffs of Moher before continuing on roads to the village of Doolin.[3][4] The route continues on roads to Lisdoonvarna.[5] North of Lisdoonvarna, the Way joins a boreen between the townlands of Ballinalacken and Formoyle, crossing the plateau above the Caher Valley below Slieve Elva mountain.Шаблон:Sfn This section passes a number of places of historical interest, including Ballinalacken Castle, several ruined stone forts and Newtown Castle.Шаблон:Sfn The trail rejoins the road to reach Ballyvaughan.[6] From Ballyvaughan, the route mostly follows roads to Corofin via Carran and Killinaboy.[7]

The Burren Way originally followed a trail above the Cliffs of Moher from Hag's Head.[8] Many walkers now start from Ballyvaughan to walk the boreen the Way follows in its northern sections and eschew the southern sections altogether.[9] A review of the National Waymarked Trails in 2010 found low usage of the Burren Way by multiday walkers but high usage by day walkers on certain sections.Шаблон:Sfn The report found that route has good potential to be developed as a National Long Distance Trail, a new standard of trail in Ireland intended to meet international standards for outstanding trails, but significant work to achieve this is required.Шаблон:Sfn The report recommended that the proportion of road used by the trail be reduced as a matter of priority.Шаблон:Sfn
