The Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher

The cliffs, which reach 702 feet (214 metres) at their highest point are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland, visited by over a million tourists each year.

But you can get away from the crowds!

- visit before 9am or after 6pm;

- Come on foot

Parts of the Cliffs Walk are presently closed due to safety concerns.
- but you can take the Cliff Walk from Doolin (park in the village). Use Caution, stay on the track, do not venture towards the edges as they are not safe - even on a dry day. People are regularly risking their lifes in search for the best Instagram picture! Approaching the main visitor area (paved) you'll probably be asked for an entrance fee, as the local council is trying to get everybody to pay, no matter if you use the facilities in the visitor centre or not.

-from Liscannor you can drive up to the parking near Hag's Head, walk to the tower and enjoy the views from there.

- ‘Guerin’s Path to Cliff Walk’ Parking and Cliff access are closed UFN.

- Another option: take a boat from Doolin and enjoy the spectacular sight from the sea;

- Last not least, there's an alternative less than an hour to the south: the Kilkee Cliffs might not reach the height of the Moher Cliffs, but many visitors praise them as the 'better cliffs', especially on a day with high waves. There's a free paved walking path along the Kilkee Cliffs, together with free parking and a café, with great views of Kilkee Bay.
