Acclaimed as one of Ireland's greatest natural wonders,
the Cliffs of Moher
stretch
for almost five miles and rise to a height of 214 meters (almost 700 feet) at their
highest point.
The Cliffs offer a most magnificent view. From O'Brien's Tower, located on Moher's
highest cliff, you can view the Clare coastline, the Aran Islands and mountains as
far away as Kerry and Connemara.
Signs warn visitors not to venture too close to
the edge of the cliffs. But many pay no attention.

Nearby is the amazing limestone district called
The Burren with its many caves,
underground streams and rare flora. The name Burren comes from the Irish bhoireann
meaning "rocky place".
We visit Lahinch, beach resort complete with surfers and the home of the
Lahinch Golf Club ,
an historic course where the
first round was played on Good Friday, April 15, 1892.
