Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland

On our drive from Killarney to Galway, we visited the Cliffs of Moher. They are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, and they run for about 14 kilometres (9 miles). At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien.
You can see many bird species at the Cliffs, including Puffins, Gulls, Fulmar and Kittiwake.Weiterlesen
