7:58 PM LOCAL TIMECliffs of Moher are among Ireland’s most visited natural wonders, carving a jagged 8-kilometer edge along County Clare and soaring up to 214 meters (700 feet) above the Atlantic. The primary viewing area offers a well-developed visitor center, secure pathways and safe viewing platforms, but the best experience comes by walking along the cliff-top trail that extends beyond the formal park boundaries for wilder approaches and less-traveled viewpoints. Expect to see gannet, puffin, and kittiwake colonies, especially in spring and summer, and to feel the wind and spray when the weather turns. Nearby towns like Liscannor and Doolin provide gateways for lodging, local pubs, and ferry routes, making the Cliffs a rewarding day-trip or overnight base.
