Cliffs of Moher

Behold the Cliffs of Moher
 Near Shannon

The rugged Cliffs of Moher, looming above the pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean far below, offer spectacular scenic vistas. It's an experience that is difficult to capture in a photograph, but is a must-see near Shannon. A visit to the Cliffs, one of the most outstanding coastal features of Ireland, previously required a wind-blown scramble up a rocky incline. Now, a state-of-the-art visitor center describes the geology and history of the area and provides an indoor viewing platform of nature's glory and the nesting grounds for many Atlantic sea birds. The Cliffs of Moher are just north of Shannon.
