Travel Guide Cliffs Of Moher

With these rugged, wild cliffs stretching for 8 km, some of them over 200 meters high, nature has demonstrated such grandeur that it would be a shame not to come and experience it for yourself. The Cliffs of Moher offer sublime, breathtaking views. On a clear day, you can see the Aran Islands and the mountains of Connemara. There is a path leading to the highest point of the cliffs and to O'Brien Tower. Although the site is extremely well-visited, many people stop at the first cliff, which is already a thrill to behold and promises great photography. Walkers can then continue their journey to the tip of the cliffs. Along the way, you'll get a constantly changing view of these rugged cliffs, where you'll spot a host of birds that have built their nests in the crevices. Birdwatchers should remember to bring their binoculars for close-up observation! Walking on these cliffs is truly exhilarating. However, it's not advisable to take children to this wilder part of the cliffs, as the path is quite narrow in places and almost vertigo-inducing. Alternatively, you can contemplate them from the sea. The ports of Doolin and Liscannor organize boat trips to the cliffs. An unforgettable experience!How do you pronounce Cliffs of Moher? The whole thing is pronounced "Clif of Mor", which comes in handy when you're trying to make yourself understood quickly on the subject with the Irish, because splitting the word Moher into two syllables will give your interlocutors a little hesitation.The Cliffs of Moher in the movies! Among the many films to have been shot in the heart of the grandiose Cliffs of Moher are Ryan's Daughter (1970), The Trap (1973), Princess Bride (1987) and Distant Horizons (1992). More recently, this fabulous landscape was the setting for one of the scenes in the sixth instalment of the Harry Potter saga: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
