Galway Attractions
Cliffs of Moher
The majestic Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top visitor
sights overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in County Clare. The majestic
cliffs rise from the ocean to a height of 702ft (214m) and extend
for a distance of five miles (8km). Formed by layers of sandstone,
shale and siltstone, the cliffs have stood unchanged for millions
of years, and they welcome visitors who come to marvel at their
splendour, and to enjoy views towards the Aran Islands in Galway
Bay, as well as the valleys and hills of Connemara. The
award-winning visitor centre offers an ultra-modern interpretive
centre, Atlantic Edge, which includes interactive exhibits and
displays, images, an audio visual show, and a virtual reality cliff
face adventure.
