The Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark marked its official ratification as a UNESCO Global Geopark on Thursday 23rd April, a major moment for the communities, businesses and landscapes of the region. For visitors staying in Clonbur, it is a perfect time to explore the area with fresh appreciation. The geopark tells a geological story that spans more than 700 million years, with rocks, landscapes and heritage woven together across the region.   Clonbur’s natural character: Clonbur Woods are one of the area’s highlights, with an easy woodland walk that follows the south shore of Lough Mask. The trail features mixed woodland, scenic lake views and striking limestone pavement, which is one of the many geological features that make the geopark communities so rewarding to explore.   The limestone pavement is especially distinctive because it reflects the karst landscape beneath your feet, turning a simple walk into a chance to experience the region’s deeper geological story. Around the wider geopark, that story is expressed through mountains, lakes, woodlands and ancient rock formations.    What is there to do in Clonbur?   When you stay here with us at Fairhill House Hotel, Clonbur offers plenty to enjoy beyond the scenery.   Walk the Clonbur Wood Loop Trail: This 7.4 km loop is an easy walk that takes around 2.5 hours and offers woodland, shoreline and lake views. Take in views from Mount Gable: The summit rises to 425 metres and gives views over both Lough Mask and Lough Corrib. Spend time in the village itself: Clonbur has local hospitality and visitor services well worth making time for! These are just a few of many activities within walking distance of Fairhill House Hotel - see more here. Clonbur sits beautifully between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask, offering the perfect place to explore the UNESCOGeopark, stretch your legs on local trails and enjoy the village’s relaxed hospitality.
