Cliffs of Moher

In anticipation of seeing the famous Cliffs of Moher from below during our ferry ride to the Aran Islands this upcoming week, many students were interested in seeing the Cliffs from the most spectacular viewpoint - from above - too.

The Cliffs of Moher span across 14 kilometres along the West coast, reaching their highest point near O'Brien Tower at 214 metres. They have been featured in several films and music videos, such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as well as the Irish group Westlife's "My Love".
A brisk one-hour walk takes us all the way to Hag's Head - the Cliff's most southerly point, where we find a rock formation shaped like a woman's head.

It is also well worth visiting even if one does not fancy long walks, as the first viewpoint near O'Brien's Tower already offers stunning views. Or you may check out a short interactive 4D tour called the 4D Ledge Experience.
There is also an award-winning visitor centre nestled into the hillside close to the entrance which, additionally to the 4D experience, offers an exhibition about the cliffs, the county Clare, Ireland and climate change, two cafés, a souvenir store and restrooms.

The Cliffs of Moher are an absolute must-do experience when visiting Ireland!

It is best to book tickets online - the entrance fee is 7-10€/adult online depending on the time slot, 12€/adult flat on site.Læs mere
