Travel Ireland! Part 3

 The Cliffs of Moher 

Located on the coast of Co Clare, the Cliffs of Moher is one of Irelands favourite visitor experiences. They run around 14 kilometres long and rise 120 metres above the Atlantic Ocean. They're about 90 minutes south go Galway and 3 hours from Dublin by Car 

You don't have to walk too far to enjoy some of the best views. O'Briens tower is only a 10 minute walk away from the visitor centre. But, if you want to, you can also spend hours walking along the edge. The further you walk, fewer people you'll find. 

There is a 18km walking trail from Doolin to Liscannor, the Cliffs of Moher Coastal trail opened in 2013 and is no doubt the most comprehensive way to visit the Cliffs, but be prepared for quite a long day!

The Cliffs of Moher parking is located across the road from the Visitors centre. The weather at the Cliffs can change quickly so make sure to pack warm clothing and a rain coat just incase. 

There is also a Visitor Centre hidden underneath the hillside houses an exhibition, two cafes, gift shop, toilets, first aid centre, information points and baggage store. 

There is no actual fee to see the Cliff although parking is around 7 euro per person and free for under 12's. It is advised to book parking prior to your visit to avoid disappointment, although this may only be necessary during peak season at peak times. You can do this as bookings.cliffsofmoher.ie. Admission  includes access to all areas, Maps and secure parking.
