Caher Valley Fields

The Caher Valley runs down to Fanore between Slieve Elva and Gleninagh. It has one of the few rivers in the Burren, the Caher, which cuts its way down through the rock and through glacial deposit to emerge on the strand at Fanore and enter the sea. I took this photograph from the North side of the valley in a deserted village, looking across to the long slopes of Slieve Elva, where this tiny cottage nestled in the green fields.
