Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland is quite rightly considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the country. In many modern movies cliffs are shown as a symbol of grandeur and monumentality of nature ("Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," "Far and Away"). In 2009, the site was included in the project "Seven New Wonders of Nature."

In 2007 there was opened an environmentally friendly complex for tourists, looking like a hill covered with green grass, so characteristic of the Irish landscape. He received an award from the Association of heritage interpretation as "one of the best facilities ever seen members of the jury":

Dvuhsotmetrovuyu dark sandstone cliffs go into the raging Atlantic Ocean. The length of the cliffs stretch for 8km. On the cliffs near his home they found 30,000 birds: gulls, loons, puffins, Atlantic puffins, hawks, guillemots, cormorants. In 1989, Cliffs of Moher have become a protected natural area.

In 1835, a descendant of King of Ireland Brian Boru - Cornelius O'Brien - built a tower at the highest point of the cliffs, allegedly in order to impress women. Impression really could produce: almost aerial view Atlantic Ocean can be seen in all its beauty and grandeur. When the weather here can be seen even Aran Islands, Galway Bay and Connemara.

Today the tower is accessible to everyone. A lot of wishing. Cliffs of Moher are one of the most visited attractions in Ireland. Almost all tourist destinations include the place. On his inspection typically provide a couple of hours, but you can enjoy these kinds of as much as necessary.
