The Cliffs of Moher are the cliffs at the south-western edge of The Burren area, which is located in County Clare, Republic of Ireland. The cliffs rise from the Atlantic Ocean to a height of nearly 200 meters and extend for a distance of eight kilometers.
On top of the cliffs is an old watch tower – O'Brien's Tower.
Do not go too close to the edge of the Cliffs on a windy day. Lives have been lost by a gust of wind scooping the visitor over the edge. That is why in some photos you will see people laying down and looking over the cliffs.
