Walk the safe, paved pathways and view the famous Cliffs of Moher on Europe’s western frontier, offering spectacular vistas over sea, land and sky.
Towering above the Atlantic Ocean and overlooking an expansive horizon, the Cliffs of Moher have that rare capacity to take your breath away. The Cliffs are situated within the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark.
The 800 metres of pathways lead to beautifully appointed viewing areas from which the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, the Maamtaurks and even faraway Kerry can be viewed on fine days. Speak to experienced guides who illuminate the story of O’Brien’s tower and share knowledge of history, mythology, geology, and folklore.
The visitor centre is nestled into the hillside and it’s eco-friendly design has minimal visual impact on the surrounding landscape. The unique cavelike structure accommodates a full range of facilities and attractions underground.
Enjoy locally sourced gourmet food from one of the cafes or order a picnic to enjoy whilst drinking in the views. Browse the craftworkers street along the promenade outside the centre, as well as the craft and gift store within, which offer a wide range of locally produced goods.
The Cliffs of Moher hosts major colonies of nesting sea birds and is one of the country’s most important bird-breeding sites. The area has been designated a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds and Wildlife. View the antics of the 30,000 pairs of seabirds that nest at the cliffs during breeding season. Binoculars are available on loan.
