The Cliffs of Moher are considered Ireland's most popular tourist attraction. They might be, but they are not on my top list. I just didn't find them that incredible. Of course, that could just be me. I mean, I've seen great sea cliffs in France, Spain, Portugal, and Norway that I found pretty spectacular. I've seen cliffs such as El Capitan in Yosemite, Constantine, Algeria, Machu Picchu, and many more that I found more spectacular.

I do agree, however, that they are incredibly popular. The crowds at the cliffs were in the thousands of people. I understand that they draw over a million visitors a year. But while it was crowded, they did a fantastic job of parking you and giving you directions. It was a long walk but very well organized.

The cliffs are located in County Clare at the southwestern edge of the Burren region. They run about nine miles long and rise up between about 400 feet and 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean.

The visitor center was really jam packed with people, so we spent our time walking to and along the cliffs. The only real stop of note was O'Brien's Tower which is at the midpoint of the cliffs. It helped that it was a beautiful day.
