The Cliffs of Mohar

At the centre of the Wild Atlantic Way in County Clare on Ireland’s west coast are the stunning Cliffs of Moher. Stretching out into the mist along the North Clare coastline, they are jaw-droppingly beautiful.

Their sheer drop into the heaving Atlantic ocean is a well known haven for sea birds.The Cliffs of Moher are one of the most outstanding coastal features of Ireland. Rising slowly from Doolin village they ascend to over 700 feet boasting some of the most breathtaking scenery in Ireland. They have become one of Irelands premier tourist attractions.

The cliffs run along the coast of Clare for almost 14 kilometres, or 8 miles. They were formed over 320 million years ago, and today form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark. The Cliffs of Moher is in a Special Protection Area for Birds and Wildlife.

Along with birdwatching , the experience of panoramic views from dramatic cliff edges and hiking wild coastal trails , afterwards grab a fireside seat at a traditional music session in the nearby picturesque village of Doolin.
