The Cliffs of Moher are spectacular. 214 metres at their highest point. Home to thousands of nesting birds. The misty air had my thoughts drawn towards the sea below. Limestone and shale exposed to the constant pounding of the rolling ocean. I am not crazy about heights. What a long way to fall. The nearer I came to the edge the more insecure I felt. A nasty thought of the ground giving way fluttered about in my mind. Off to my right O'Brien's Tower proudly stood at the cliffs highest point. It's relavence dwarfed by the presence of the cliffs. Thrilling.

Having the vast visitors' centre built into the hill at the top of the cliffs adds to the site's allure.
