Introduction

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most spectacular natural wonders. These vertical shale cliffs on the Atlantic coast of County Clare, with a maximum height of ~214 m, ~8 km of dramatic coastline, and the pounding Atlantic below, are one of Ireland's most iconic natural landmarks and most popular natural destinations. The highest point near O'Brien's Tower is ~214 m; the cliffs stretch ~8 km along the Atlantic. Standing at the edge, watching Atlantic waves break hundreds of meters below in howling wind is awe-inspiring. On clear days, the Aran Islands and Galway Bay are visible. The cliffs are a seabird habitat — puffins nest here in summer. A visitor center and cliff-top walks are available. Visiting the Cliffs of Moher to feel the Atlantic's grandeur and nature's power is a soul-stirring Irish experience.
