The dramatic shores of western Ireland offer some of the country’s most stunning sights: the Cliffs of Moher. A designated UNESCO Geo Park, the Cliffs of Moher are a five-mile oceanfront stretch in County Clare, offering unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean from nearly 700 feet above the water.

Ireland’s seabirds also call the Cliffs their largest nesting home on the mainland, and on a clear day, you’ll be able to see as far as the Aran Islands to the west and the Maum Turk mountains to the north. Take a look at this stunning natural wonder for yourself with this photo tour of Ireland’s Cliffs of Moher.
