Cliffs of Moher

Rediscover Road Trips during your stay at Great National Ballykisteen Golf Hotel and experience one of Ireland’s most famous sights, The Cliffs of Moher. On a clear day, the views are tremendous, with the Aran Islands etched on the waters of Galway Bay. From the cliff edge, you can just hear the booming far below as the waves crash and gnaw at the soft shale and sandstone.

Cliffs of Moher Experience

One of Ireland’s favourite visitor experiences, the Cliffs of Moher tower over the rugged West Clare coast. Walk the safe, paved pathways and view the famous Cliffs on Europe’s western frontier and enjoy the spectacular vistas over the Atlantic Ocean and the Aran Islands. Visually spectacular, the Cliffs of Moher sit astride the striking landscape of the Burren on one side and the Wild Atlantic Ocean on the other. Rising out of the Atlantic waters to a height of over 700ft at O’Brien’s Tower and running along the coast of Clare for almost 14 kilometres, or 8 miles, the Cliffs of Moher were formed over 320 million years ago, and today form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark.

Visit the award-winning Visitor Centre, nestled into the hillside, its unique cave-like structure accommodates a full range of facilities and attractions underground. The eco-friendly design has minimal visual impact on the surrounding landscape and is complementary to the Cliffs’ natural beauty. The Visitor Centre features an Interactive Exhibition, Cliffs View Café, Puffins Nest Café, Visitor Information, Shannon Heritage Craft and Gift Store and Restroom Facilities .
