Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher tower dramatically over the Atlantic Ocean, stretching for 5 mi (8 km) and reaching a height of 702 ft (213 m) at their highest point. They're one of Ireland's most popular attractions, receiving over a million visitors annually. The cliffs were formed over 320 million years ago as a result of sediments of large rivers accumulating and becoming rock solid. Layer upon layer was formed until the Cliffs of Moher arose.
Hiking is the best way to soak the wild landscape of the cliffs. You can walk part or all of the trail, starting at the Visitor Centre, which is located near the highest point of the cliffs and promises some of the best views. Doolin and Hags Head are popular walking trails. O'Brien Tower is another popular lookout point. You can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding area. The weather at the Cliffs of Moher can change quickly. Check the weather forecast before your visit.
