Cliffs of Moher & Doolin
EUROPE · ATLANTIC · THE BURREN
Two hundred metres of vertical Atlantic cliff, a limestone moonscape behind it, and a village that plays music every night.
The plan
The cliffs at sunset
The light and the crowds both improve after 5pm; the visitor centre car park is the access.
Walk the coastal trail
The Doolin–Cliffs path (8km) gives the views without the fences.
Doolin trad sessions
Gus O'Connor's and McGann's — three pubs, music every night of the year.
The Burren
A limestone desert of wildflowers and dolmens; Poulnabrone is 5,800 years old.
Getting there
Fly into
Shannon (SNN), an hour south — the natural gateway.
From the airport
Rent a car; buses run from Galway and Limerick to Doolin and the cliffs.
Getting around
A car for the Burren; Doolin village itself walks, just about, in the rain.
