Cliffs of Moher / Aillte an Mhothair

Ireland / Kerry / Killarney /
 cliff, interesting place, tourist attraction
Situated in County Clare and bordering the Burren Area, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Standing 230
metres above the ground at their highest point and 8km long, the Cliffs boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland. On a clear
day, the Aran Islands are visible in Galway Bay as well as the valleys and hills of Connemara.

To the south of the cliffs is Hag's Head and the cliffs reach their highest point just north of O' Brien's Tower. The Tower was built by
Cornelius O' Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, to impress female visitors. The seastack, Breanan Mór, stands over 70 metres above
the foaming waves. You are advised to dress warmly when visiting the cliffs because of the cool Atlantic winds blowing in off the
ocean.

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most visited attractions.
