Cliffs of Moher

It's difficult to find the perfect words to describe the majestic Cliffs of Moher because so many superlatives have been used. The words vertigo-inducing and awe-inspiring come to mind, and they are both true, as well as being absolutely untamed and ruggedly gorgeous. The cliffs will be familiar to those who have researched the Emerald Isle before going, having appeared on innumerable postcards and guidebooks. However, no photograph can ever do them justice. For good reason, this is one of Ireland's most popular tourist sites.

The cliffs, located around one and a half hours by driving from Galway in neighboring County Clare, are visited by about a million tourists from all over the world each year. It is a popular day trip from Dublin. They stretch for eight kilometers along the Atlantic and reach a height of 214 meters at their peak. Take a trip along the trail to witness nature's raw power at its most majestic.
