Aillwee Caves in the Burren


We got up in Ennis, had breakfast (black & white pudding and country bacon). I drove north out of Ennis and headed up to Aillwee caves. These caves are in the Burren, a magnificent landscape of limestone as far as the eye can see. The caves lie beneath one of the hills of limestone. We had a guided tour (by a Frenchman) through about 600m of the caves. It was pretty cool, although nothing that one couldn't see in a lighted cave elsewhere. The beauty of the Burren was above ground!
