About Keelhilla (Slieve Carron)
Keelhilla, also known as Slieve Carron Nature Reserve, is a 145.5-hectare national nature reserve located near the village of Carran in County Clare, Ireland. Situated on the northeastern edge of the Burren plateau, this state-owned reserve was designated in 1986 and protects an outstanding example of the karst limestone landscape for which the Burren is internationally renowned. The reserve encompasses three distinct vegetation communities including woodland, scrub, grassland, and exposed limestone pavement, representing a microcosm of the wider Burren's extraordinary botanical and geological diversity.
