Cliffs of Moher
The Atmosphere
“Ireland's most visited natural attraction. 700-foot cliffs rising from the Atlantic, with views to the Aran Islands.”
The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland's most iconic natural wonder. 700 feet of ancient rock rising vertically from the Atlantic Ocean, stretching for five miles along the Clare coast. On a clear day, the views extend to the Aran Islands and the mountains of Connemara. The visitor experience is excellent, but the real magic comes from walking the cliff path beyond the center, where the crowds thin and the raw power of the landscape takes over.
Rooms Worth Requesting
What it actually feels like.
Arrive early morning or late afternoon to avoid the tour bus crowds. Walk south on the cliff path for the most dramatic views.
Why we recommend it
A space that justifies the journey.
Walk south past the visitor center where the crowds thin. The views to the Aran Islands on a clear day are dramatic.
