Cliffs of Moher in 3D

County Clare · 214 m above the Atlantic

County Clare, on the Atlantic coast of Ireland

The Cliffs of Moher rise to 214 m and run 14 km along the Atlantic. Their layers are a 320-million-year-old river delta, tilted and sliced open by the sea. O'Brien's Tower was built in 1835 as a viewing point, and puffins, razorbills and guillemots nest on the ledges and the sea stack Branaunmore in spring.
