The Cliffs of Moher [ June 2016 ]

Here we are~!!

This is exactly what we’re supposed to come visit….

One of Top 4 Must visit places in Ireland.

( My private )

Then, here we begin~!

8km stretch of cliffs reaching height of 214m, with vista embracing Aran Islands plus viewing tower.

The cliffs take their name from an old promontory fort called Mothar or Moher, which once stood on Hag’s Head, the southernmost point of the cliffed coast, now the site of Moher Tower.

The cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.

At their southern end, they rise 120 m above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag’s Head, and, eight km to the north, reach their maximum height of 214m just north of O’Brien’s Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O’Brien, then continue at lower heights.

The closest settlements are Liscannor (6 km south) and Doolin

The official Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk runs for 18 km, from Hag’s Head to Doolin, passing the Visitor Centre and O’Brien’s Tower, with good viewing throughout, subject to rain or sea fog.

There are two paths near the visitor centre, the official one being set back a little for safety, while an unofficial path runs closer to the edge.

In July 2016 the so-called Cliff Walk, outside the official Cliffs of Moher amenities, was temporarily closed because of the risk of rock falls.

People were warned to stay on the official path further of the cliff edge instead of the unofficial seaside trail.

Separate ferry trips also allow tourists to view the cliffs from sea level, and at certain times fixed-wing aircraft from Connemara Airport also provide a viewing opportunity.
