The Cliffs of Moher is a must see if you are visiting the west of Ireland. The cliffs, located in Co. Clare stand 214m tall and stretch 8 km along the Atlantic Ocean.
The views are absolutely fantastic and the breeze that hits you along the walk is refreshing. I have learned some tips from my visit, which will hopefully be of some use to you. A Google maps link is provided at the end of this post.

If you decide to follow the main road signs to the cliffs you will be brought to the car park, which is located half way. From here, you have the option to walk south or north. The cost to park is priced €6 per person. If you have a large family this could work out expensive.
During our walk on the cliffs, we encountered some friendly locals. They informed us that you can park at the very south point of the cliffs for free. They were walking the entire stretch to Doolin and were getting lunch in a pub there.
Unfortunately, we did not have this information at the time and paid €12 at the car park. The visitor centre at the cliffs is a unique experience! Food, tea and coffee are available inside. There is also an interactive 3D video about the cliffs which you can watch at no extra charge. Separate to the visitor centre, there are several individual gift shops which you can visit outside.

Fortunately, we had arrived at the Cliffs at 9.30am and it was not busy. We immediately headed south towards Moher Tower. On our way back at around mid-day the crowds had arrived and there was a lot of people walking towards us. Thankfully we had started early and I advise you to do the same.

Moher Tower was a little dot in the distance and our progress during the walk was based on how far we were away from it. We got some great pictures on the way to Moher Tower. We did not walk on the north trail, towards Doolin but will do that the next time we visit! We did however drive to Doolin and got a good lunch in a local pub there also.
