Cliffs Of Moher and O'Brien's Tower, Ireland

Writer's picture: theweeklydeparturetheweeklydeparture

When travelling to Ireland, visiting the Cliffs of Moher is definitely a must. The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most popular tourist destinations and are absolutely breathtaking.


To get from the parking lot to the cliffs, it is a little bit of a walk. The challenging part is the incline but there are steps as well as ramps. As you get to one of the viewing platforms, the walk is absolutely worth it. Keep in mind that it can be quite windy and pretty chilly once you are up there.


For ticket prices and more info, check out the official Cliffs of Moher website here.


The highest point of Cliffs of Moher - O'Brien's Tower

While you are at Cliffs of Moher definitely pay a visit to O'Briens's Tower, which is located on the main viewing platform. A beautiful stone tower that was built in 1835. Go inside and explore the views. To see what the main Cliffs of Moher viewing platform and the O'Brien's Tower look like, check out my TWD video of it here or scroll down to the end of this article. As you can tell it was windy! Haha.


Cliffs of Moher Visitor's Center

The visitor's center is build into the hillside and you would almost miss it if it wasn't for all the signs. Haha. Inside the visitor center, there is a big interactive exhibition showing everything there is to know about the Cliffs of Moher. There is also a large gift shop, visitor information, Café, and restrooms. At the Café I enjoyed Irish soda bread and potato leek soup. It was the perfect meal to warm me up since I was there in the middle of winter. Check out the meal in photo gallery below.


Bus Tour Ireland

If you enjoy seeing multiple tourist attractions in one day, including the Cliffs of Moher, there are multiple companies that offer bus tours throughout Ireland. This visit to the Cliffs of Moher was while I was on a one-day Wild Rover Tour across Ireland. Wild Rover Tours is a multiple Tripadvisor Award winner. To find out more about this fantastic one-day tour, read my previous post here.


There's so much to see when you are at Cliffs of Moher. Breathtaking views, the O'Brien's Tower, and a fantastic large visitor center. It's worth a visit while in Ireland.


Until the next departure!
