“One of Ireland’s most famous sights, the Cliffs of Moher are entirely vertical and the cliff edge is abrupt. 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.”

With a due-west exposure, sunset is the best time to visit. Lonely Planet

The Weather

Part of the beauty of the Cliffs is that they can be cloaked in fog one minute and basking in the sun’s rays the next. The weather is highly unpredictable. So visiting us, it’s best to come prepared for all types of weather – with a good rain jacket and a pair of walking boots.

You can get accurate weather conditions by calling us or checking the national weather forecaster on the day you plan to visit us. Go to www.met.ie.
