Review
'Told in an easy-going style interspersed with Clements own observations and anecdotes in what is an affectionate tribute to this area. It is as much a personal tribute to the Burren as a study of it' --Books Ireland
'Clements celebrates the often disparate elements that create a landscape and give its unique, indefinable feel...what is good about Clements book is that he reminds us that one of the world s great landscapes lies not oceans away but on our doorstep'. --Plant Life

Product Description
The Burren in County Clare is slow to For years Paul Clements has been drawn to its history, mystery and peculiarities. Here he writes absorbingly about the rocks, hills and walls, the colours, the animals, and subjects that excite him, such as the exotic wild flowers, ancient ruins, early morning birdsong,and the smell of whiskey in historic pubs. A hunter and gatherer of information, the author ferrets out little-known facts and lore on the Burren and weaves them together. Burren Country is infused with warmth and wit, with the ordinary and the extraordinary. It celebrates outdoor life and uncovers what the Burren means to writers, painters and musicians who know it intimately. It focuses on particularities of place: Poulnabrone dolmen seen through the eyes of photographers; a patch of ground at Gleninagh where he joins a pilgrimage; a tour of the wandering boulders; and an epiphany on the summit of Mullaghmore Mountain. Join him in a fascinating odyssey into one of Ireland s magical and unique places.

My husband and I visited parts of The Burren this past fall. It was one of the most haunting places we experienced while exploring Ireland. For Christmas I gave my husband this book. It's beautifully written, so much so it feels like we are back there with every turn of the page. Sounds cheezy I know, but we can't say enough great things about this book. If you haven't been to The Burren this book will make you want to go and if you have it's reminiscent of The Burren's lonely beauty! Love the Author!
