The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction with a magical vista that captures the hearts of up to one million visitors every year. Standing 214m (702 feet) at their highest point they stretch for 8 kilometres (5 miles) along the Atlantic coast of County Clare in the west of Ireland. From the Cliffs of Moher on a clear day one can see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, as well as the Twelve Pins and the Maum Turk mountains in Connemara, Loop Head to the south and the Dingle Peninsula and Blasket Islands in Kerry. O Brien's Tower stands near the highest point and has served as a viewing point for visitors for hundreds of years. There are over 600 meters of pathways and viewing platforms along the cliff edge that allow the visitor to enjoy a spectacular and healthy cliff walk. The amazing views of the Cliffs, the famous Aran Islands, Kerry mountains, Galway Bay, O’Briens Tower and the thousands of seabirds make the Cliffs a magical place. If you are lucky on your stroll you will hear and see the Cliffs Buskers playing traditional Irish music along the Cliff pathways. Talking telescopes are dotted along the paths as you go. If you are a serious walker or hiker there is the 20 kilometer Cliffs Coastal Trail that can be accessed from the Cliffs, the walk to or from Doolin to the Cliffs will take approximately 2.5 hours (8 kilometers).

Lovely place to visit, but only on a good day, bad weather means bad views, we were lucky our first visit here it was really clear and sunny, views were amazing, not very child friendly on the cliffs more suited to older kids, only downside was the toilets, 100s of tourists and about 6 toilets expect queues in summer months, worth the drive and we visited the burren too which was nearby, we couldn't find the boats to sail along the cliffs though, lots of narrow roads and no signposts
