Leaning out over the ocean, Cliffs of Moher represent the rugged side of coastal Ireland. The imposing cliffs rise more than 200 m (700 ft) above the Atlantic and consist mainly of shale and sandstone. More than 30,000 birds live on this rocky part of the coastline, and nearly 1 million people come to visit each year. Begin your adventure at the visitor center, featuring exhibits about the natural and historical significance of these cliffs. To observe puffins and hawks nesting in this area, bring binoculars and hike along a well-posted trail to the highest point of the cliffs, where you'll find a historical tower built in 1835. It can get windy and cold here, so dress appropriately. Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Cliffs of Moher by using our Liscannor driving holiday planner.

Perhaps the best coastal views of all that we saw in Ireland. We had a wonderful sunny day for our visit, and that helped immensely. It's worth walking as far along the cliff as you can because there.... more

Still a great place, we drop by every time we visit the mid-west. The visitor centre has everything you'd need. Cafe, restaurant, exhibition, restrooms, souvenir shop and other craft shops near the main centre. Good to see that it is improving over time. Luckily we got a nice weather this time. =)

Visited in March 2022. We came on the perfect day. It was clear and sunny. The weather was a little chilly but not bad at all. Amazing scenery. It was a dream come true. We drove from Dublin which wasn’t long of a drive(about 3hrs).
