Wild food walks offer a unique way to connect with the land and locals
 
“Burren Fine Wine and Food…it’s just at the bottom of Corkscrewhill Road.” I didn’t like the sound of that road but was assured by Sheedy’s Hotel proprietor Martina that “hardly anything happens anymore,” now that the motor coaches take an alternate route from Lisdoonvarna to Ballyvaughan. This did little to ease my fears. Nevertheless, I hopped in my rental car and made it down the infamously windy road in one piece, admiring the unique karst landscape of the Burren as I drove.
