Why are the Cliffs of Moher one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions?The Cliffs rise to 702 feet (214 m) at their highest point and range for 8 kms (5 miles) over the Atlantic ocean. The sheer scale and dramatic impact of the cliffs never cease to amaze and delight in equal measure. Whatever the weather conditions, the Cliffs provide an amazing visual experience.
The Cliffs are a special protection area (SPA) for seabirds with over 20 species represented. Every year we welcome over 30,000 breeding pairs including guillemots, falcons, razorbills, kittiwakes, peregrine, and the cute puffins. The Cliffs of Moher are also home to many rare flora including cat’s-ear and sea pink.
The Cliffs are part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark. It supports people and organisations to work together to ensure a cared-for landscape, a better-understood heritage, more sustainable tourism, a vibrant community, and strengthened livelihoods and works with the Burren Ecotourism Network.
The eco friendly visitor centre nestles into the hillside minimising the visual impact on this fabulous scenic location. The Cliffs exhibition brings the story of the cliffs to life.
