For thousands of years, Burren farmers have herded their cattle onto ‘winterage’ pastures in the limestone uplands where they spend the winter grazing. This ancient ‘transhumance’ tradition is synonymous with the Burren and is key to the survival of the region’s famous flora and fauna.

We had two beautiful walks with Jesmond Harding (Butterfly Conservation Ireland) last weekend and saw some of Ireland's rarest butterflies. The Pearl-bordered Fritillary is Ireland's rarest butterfly and only found in the Burren 🦋 📷Karen van Dorp #butterflyconservation #butterflyconservationireland
