The Cliffs of Moher tower over the rugged west Clare Coast. They are the most famous cliffs in Ireland. The Cliffs stretch for 5 miles as the crow flies and at the highest point is 702 feet above sea level.

The Cliffs of Moher got their name from a ruined promontory fort “Mothar” which was demolished during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800’s to make room for the Signal Tower or O’Brien’s Tower at Hag’s Head point.

After spending a couple of hours at the cliffs we traveled the coast stopping at villages and seaside spots such as Burren with its limestone

Next was a small fishing village called Kinvara.

Last stop was Dunguaire Castle. They have banquets and parties there if you ever want to rent it out.
