The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction

August 1, 2016 By : Allison

The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction. They are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher are 120 meters (390 ft.) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag’s Head, stretching for 5 miles. The highest point is 214 meters (702 ft.), just north of O’Brien’s Tower. These cliffs receive almost one million visitors a year.
From the cliffs, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks, and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north, and Loop Head to the south. This area was set up as a special protection area (SPA) for birds by Bird Board of European Union in 1986 and as a sanctuary for fauna in 1988. It is estimated that there are 20 species with more than 30,000 birds living under the Cliffs of Moher and surrounding areas. This includes Atlantic puffins, eagles, gulls, guillemots, Shags, and choughs. In July 2009, the Cliffs of Moher become one of the finalists in the “new seven wonders of the world.”
Visitors can also enjoy the beauty of the Cliffs of Moher from O’Briens tower or take a ferry to see the river channels that cut the cliff base. The waves at these cliffs are good for surfing. Cliff of Moher is one of the tourist destination which must visit while in Ireland. The best time to visit the Cliffs of Moher is in the summer, because much of the rest of the year, the cliffs are covered in thick fog.
The Cliffs of Moher have appeared in numerous media. The cliffs have appeared in several films, including The Princess Bride (1987), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), and Leap Year (2010). The cliffs have appeared in many music videos, including Maroon 5’s “Runaway”, Westlife’s “My Love”, and Rich Mullins “The Color Green.”
The accommodations near the Cliffs of Moher are halfway between the villages of Doolin and Liscannor. Doolin is 5 km away, while Ennis is a large town about 45 km from the Cliffs of Moher.
