Cliffs of Moher: where Ireland drops in the ocean

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most famous natural wonders. They are located on the west coast, about two and a half hours by car from Cork, and directly overlook the Atlantic Ocean with rock walls reaching up to 214 metres in height.

Their history is very ancient: these cliffs were formed over 300 million years ago, when the area was still submerged by an ancient sea. Over time, wind and wave erosion has created these spectacular shapes. During your visit, in addition to enjoying the breathtaking view, you can also discover the O'Brien observation tower, built in the 19th century as a lookout point for tourists of the time.

Walking along the path that runs along the cliffs, feeling the strong wind and watching the ocean get lost on the horizon is an experience that stays with you. It's true what they say: the Cliffs of Moher should be seen at least once in your life.
