Panoramic view ofthe Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare,  Wild Atlantic Way, West of Ireland Coast

Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare,  Wild Atlantic Way, West of Ireland Coast

First panoramic view of the majestic sea Cliffs of Moher.

Around 5 miles of almost vertical sea cliffs consisting of bands of sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and shale rising to a maximum height of over 700 feet.  You find the Cliffs of Moher off the north-south R478 that runs parallel to the wild Atlantic coast of west Clare and there is plenty of car parking spaces.  The name 'Cliffs of Moher' take its name from an ancient fort called Moher (or Mhothair) which stood on the Hag’s Head, at the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher. This was demolished in 1808, during the Napoleonic Wars, and replaced by the signal tower you see there today.
