Visiting the Cliffs of Moher HAS to be on your itinerary if you are headed to Ireland! I am a big fan of visiting attractions that can only be seen in one place, and I truly don’t think there are cliffs as jutted AND tall as the Cliffs of Moher anywhere else in the world. Does everyone talk about them? Yes. But are they over-hyped? NO, they truly are something spectacular to see! Read on to find out:
A little snipped on what the cliffs are… The Cliffs of Moher are located along the Wild Atlantic Way, and span about 14 km/9 miles along the coast and peak at about 214 meters/700 ft tall!
On a clear day you can see the Aran Islands (inspiration for the Iron Islands on Game of Thrones?!?! (not sure) and parts of the Dingle Peninsula.
Fun fact: You may recognize the Cliffs of Moher in the Harry Potter movie Half Blood Prince as Harry and Dumbledore go find one of Voldemorts Horcruxes in the cave!
The Cliffs of Moher are located on the west coast, and you can get there from Dublin by bus, driving or taking a guided tour.

Lucky for us, seeing the cliffs is quite affordable.Technically, it is free to see the Cliffs of Moher. However, if you want to go to the visitor center or are going to park, you have to pay.
The Cliffs of Moher are on the west coast of the island and catch ALL of the wind from the Atlantic Ocean. The wind is WILD!
