Cliffs of Moher.
The Cliffs of Moher are located on the west coast of Ireland, close to Liscannor village in County Clare. They are part of the Wild Atlantic Drive.

The Cliffs take their name from a ruined promontory fort ‘Mothar’ – which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars in the early 1800’s, to make room for a signal tower at Hag’s Head. The word ‘Mothar’in old Gaelic means ‘the ruin of a fort’.

The Cliffs stretch for 8km (5 miles) as the crow flies over the Atlantic Ocean. The Cliffs reach 214m (702 feet) in height at their highest point. They formed 320 million years ago.

We made the mistake of going into the car park - 6 Euros each.
Great exhilarating cliff walk. Cold and very windy. We had to walk carefully so as not to be blown off the cliff.

We started at the Main platform and walked the North Platform to O'Brien's Tower. It was built 1835 by Cornelius O'Brien as a viewing point for tourists. Next the South Cliffs toward Hags Head and Knockardakin Point. This is not part of the main path but a track taken at your own risk. The highest point is 214 metres above sea level. Lastly to the Visitors Centre.

Left at 7:15pm with a one and half hour drive still ahead of us to our accommodation in Galway.
