Cliffs of MoherLiscannor, Co. Clare.
The Cliffs of Moher is Irelands most visited natural attraction. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting sea-birds in Ireland and is a Special Protected Area under the EU Birds Directive 1979. From the Cliff edge you can see a host of sea-birds including Puffins.
Built in 1835, OBriens Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. Visit the tower and climb the spiral straicase to enjoy the view which 19th century visitors marvelled. The roof top of the tower offers the best photo opportunity of the Cliffs of Moher.

Visitor Reviews
Went over Chrismtas and hugely impressed. Wot a set-up! Co. Clare should be very proud. Despite the cold weather, we had a fantastic day. Exhibition centre very impressive and had lunch in coffee shop. Highly recommended.
The cliffs were impressive and the place was very well layed out, we went with our two kids (3 and 6) and we enjoyed the day out. My only problem was the price of parking (8 euro).
