The long and narrow massif of Turloughmore-Boulevin is in the North East corner of the Burren near Kinvara and is dotted with crags of all sizes.

RAVENS ROCK

This forms one side of a small mountain col known locally as Leim an Phuca Mor at GR M 340 028 .

From Kinvara, drive west, and take the first left after about 6km. Drive ~5.5km south-east-to Cappaghmore crossroads and take the right. Go straight on for about 2.5km, ignore the right fork for Eagle's Rock and keep going straight for 500m to a parking place on the right with a national park map board. Walk up the track opposite the parking spot (through a gate marked Burren National Park) uphill past a number of abandoned buildings, strike directly uphill until you reach the col.
