Cliffs Of Moher

These iconic cliffs are the most visited attraction in Ireland with around 1 million visitors each year. Stretching 8km and reaching 702ft at their highest point, on a clear day you can see the Aran Islands , Galway Bay , Maum Turk mountains and even as far as the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry . They are a breeding site for over 20 species and 30,000 pairs of seabirds and in the Spring, Atlantic Puffins arrive in their thousands for nesting season, making March through May the perfect time for bird watchers to visit.

The cliffs have also been the backdrop for many movies, tv shows and adverts. Some of the bigger and most famous of these being Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Into the West and The Princess Bride where they were referred to as the Cliffs of Insanity!!

The panoramic views are truly breathtaking so after taking the obligatory selfie, put the phones away and take it all in . Take a walk along the cliff top and maybe wander into the award winning visitor centre and enjoy the pictures and exhibits on show.
