On a Burren farm in Creehaun, near Lough Bunny, Co. Clare. Exact location will be emailed to ticket holders closer to time.
On Sunday, the 30th of October, you are invited to join the Burren Winterage Cattle Drive, a community walk with a Burren farming family as they walk their cattle to the winter pastures.
This is a 4km loop walk mostly on a gravel path and a short optional portion on steep and uneven farmland terrain. A reasonable level of fitness will be required for this walk. Suitable footwear, such as walking boots is essential and waterproof boots are recommended if the weather has been wet in the days prior to the walk. Please wear appropriate clothing for possible wet, blustery weather, including waterproofs.
Numbers are limited and pre-booking is essential.
This year, the Cattle Drive attendees will also be able enjoy the Burren Food Fayre before and after the walk- where there will be a chance to 'taste the Burren' through food tastings from the Burren's best food producers. There will also be tea, coffee and scones on offer before the walk (we encourage you to bring your own mug!), and hazel sticks to help people on their way.
PLEASE NOTE: NO DOGS ALLOWED.
Admission: €5 for Burrenbeo Members and Burren Pine Project Supporters / €10 for non-members. Children under the age of 12 go free but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The Burrenbeo Trust is a landscape charity dedicated to connecting people and place. Our aim is to help all of us identify ways in which we care for our places.
This is carried out through providing information, education, active conservation and supporting research on the future sustainable management of the Burren region.
