We continue via County Clare to the west coast of Ireland.
Cliffs of Moher
We spend 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher - one of the world's greatest natural attractions. These cliffs stand 1/3 the size of the Empire State Building and have large populations of puffins and gannets.

If it's the right season you may see one of the 26 different types of orchids that grow here right on beautiful Galway Bay.
