Newcastle to Cliffs of Moher

Acting on the recommendation of a former bus driver, we got up at 6 am and hit the road to the Cliffs of Moher by 6:15. We arrived at the parking lot at 8:15. It was almost empty. A good thing. The weather was pretty good as well! Over the next few hours we followed the trails that lead along the edge of the cliffs. Spectacular views!
From here we drove to Lahinch which is a small town on the ocean and a favourite location among Irish surfers. We walked along the shoreline and through some shops in town.
After a packed lunch we drove to Ennis, another Irish town with some interesting, historic buildings and a number of quaint shops in the city centre. From there we drove back to our farmhouse to make dinner.Read more
