The Cliffs Of Moher

 

New for 2010 we now include entry into the Cliffs of Moher Visitor centre and their Atlantic Edge Exhibition during our 6 day Trail

 

The Cliffs are one of Ireland's top visitor attractions are one of the finalists for the "New 7 Wonders of the World"  and once you visit them you will really understand why they have been nominated.  They are 214 m high at their highest point and stretch for over 8 Km.

 

 

The Cliffs of Moher boasts one of Ireland's most spectacular views. You can see the Aran Islands,  Galway Bay, as well as the Twelve pins of Connemara.

 

 

 

It is also home to one of the major colonies of Cliff nesting birds in Ireland, with the Atlantic Puffin,  Razorbuill, Clough and Common gull some of the birds nesting there.  The area is a designated special area for fauna,  and is a special protection area for birds.

 

The Atlantic Edge is an exciting interperative centre.  The centre explores the 4 different elements of the Cliffs - Ocean, Rock, Nature and Man.  "The Ledge" is a theatre which hosts a very visual virtual reality cliff face adventure. It is an Imax type multi media show which allows visitors to experience a bird's eye view of the cliffs as well as seeing the inside undervater caves at the full of the cliffs.
