1 hr. NW of Shannon airport, 2 hrs. S of Galway, near the village of Liscannor, +353 65 708 6141. Opens 9am. E6, 65+ E4, under 16 free; guided tour E45.
This is Ireland’s most visited natural attraction and a UNESCO recognized Geopark. Towering 702 feet above the roaring Atlantic Ocean and running for a 5-mile stretch, the shale and sandstone Cliffs of Moher are so high that the ocean’s roar is heard as just a whisper. This official entry provides protected cliff-side pathways. An eco-certified, grass-roofed building embedded unobtrusively in a hillside holds a cafe and the visitor center, where you can view two short movies and take the 5-minute “Ledge Experience.” Free WiFi is available throughout! On clear days you can the Aran Islands and on to Connemara. Rain and fog are disappointing and not unusual, but you will still enjoy a visit. Hags Head outside Liscannor Village is the most southerly point of the cliffs and the sweet fishing village of Doolin is the northerly point.

Built cliff-side in 1835, this tower stands near the cliffs’ highest point. You can climb a spiral staircase to a viewing platform on its crenellated top. The area immediately north known as Cliff of the Foals is a world-famous surf spot.
