About
Evelyn and Eimer Mc Carthy Co. Clare’s Rural Recreational officer start their walk in Fanore and climb Black Head along the unique panorama of grey that provides such a stark contrast to Ireland’s proverbial ‘forty shades of green’. There are a selection of Loop and linear walks in the Burren and this particular walk was designed by Eimer with the assistance of local landowners who own the land around Black Head. They work with the National Trails office to preserve the paths in good condition. As they walk upland towards Blackhead they walk along the old road or Green Road which is high above the present coastal road and a much more pleasant track.
