Cliffs of Moher

Surfing is huge here at the cliffs of Moher. Tourism is growing as well. Alongside the Giant's Causeway, it is the biggest tourist area in South Ireland. similar eroded areas are slieve league, glendalough, and benbulben. The tallest part of the cliff face, Knockardakin, is about 214 meters (702 feet) above sea level.

The closest singles festival every summer takes place in Lisdoonvarna, another proximal city. This area and many others are covered in stone walls and shelter many tourists as well.

Also visible from the shores of Liscannor are the Aran islands and the Twelve Pins. The cliffs are also close to Doolin and Lahinch, two neighboring towns.

This eco-friendly and well preserved area in Co. Clare was formed about 360 million years ago in the Upper Carboniferous period. Ireland used to be much more volcanic and it was bigger, but the warmer waters in this area directly contributed to erosion, as mud and sand flowed through the warmer ocean to tributaries and rivers nearby, which formed the rock layers that are visible today.

The environment is fairly acidic around the cliffs, so a lot of farmers needed outside jobs to supplementary income. A lot of the flag stands can be broken into smaller items and sold, there's plenty fishing to also be done. They're were huge quarries here. A lot of fish worked, 18ft vessels called currachs went out to do fishing.

Birding was always very popular even in spite of the dangers. Lots of different birds can be seen here, such as puffin, razorbills, and ravens. as it is a Special Protected Area, 9 species of breeding seabirds dwell here. Needless to say, it is a sight to see.

So, visit the Cliffs of Moher today, one of the most visited spots in this part of Ireland behind the Guinness Factory.
