🧵 8. Last one!!! #WildAtlanticWay #TheBurren Co Clare
I am seeing less and less insects this year, which is very concerning. Even on our trip to The Burren and back there was very little dead insect stuff on the windscreen.

We are now in County #Claire & have been walking in #TheBurren, an area of extensive #limestone pavement & karstification. I don't have enough superlatives! The scenery, the flora & geology are unique. I have been to many places but few tick even half as many boxes.

The Yorkshire Dales and Ireland's Burren share 340-million-year-old Carboniferous limestone.
But the Dales have 2,500+ caves and 400+ km of passage. The Burren, ~56 caves, but 25,000 hectares of exposed limestone pavement vs. our 1,052.
Same rock. Very different worlds.
