Ireland Moher.

Cliffs of Moher is located at the westernmost edge of Ireland and is the filming location for the movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"! The highest point of the cliff is more than 200 meters above sea level. All ticket offices and shops in the scenic area are hidden in the mountains to protect the natural landscape of the cliffs from being destroyed by modern buildings. The view is truly amazing! - The Cliffs of Moher are open all year round, with peak months being July and August, and peak hours being between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. It takes at least 2 hours to visit here, and half a day is usually ideal. You can also arrange a 1-2 day trip to the surrounding area. It is recommended to stay overnight in a village in County Clare to fully experience the local culture and traditional Irish music. - The Cliffs of Moher are close to Shannon International Airport, near Limerick and Galway. You can choose to take the Cliffs of Moher shuttle bus, train, regular bus, self-drive, or bike to the Cliffs of Moher according to your itinerary or schedule. - Distant view: On a clear day, you can see the famous Aran Islands, Galway Bay, Twelve Bens, Dingle Peninsula, and Blasket Islands in Kerry, which are breathtakingly beautiful! And at the highest point of the Cliffs of Moher, there is an artificial tower - O'Brien's Tower, with a great view. - Bird watching More than 30,000 birds breed here every year at the Cliffs of Moher. From late February, a variety of seabirds, such as guillemots, razorbills, black-backed gulls, and shags, begin to return to the cliffs from their wintering grounds. Puffins arrive at the cliffs in March and stay until mid-July (best viewing season is May-June). In addition, there are cute Irish rabbits and goats, which are very fairy-tale-like. - Tips: The viewing area near the South Platform is the best place to see puffins nesting on Goat Island. If you're lucky, you might also see endangered choughs and peregrine falcons. - Wonderful geological landscape The Cliffs of Moher were formed 300 million years ago in the Early Carboniferous period. The Namurian rocks, siltstones, and shales you see are living fossils that witness the vicissitudes of life. In the Burren, the rich Ice Age heritage: limestone pavements, canyons, and glacial striations... form a unique and fascinating terrain. In addition, the movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was also filmed here because of the peculiar sea caves of the Cliffs of Moher. - Whale dew From the plankton in April-May to the second largest fish on earth, basking sharks, whales, and seals, there are always surprises here. In autumn, you may see minke or humpback whales passing by the cliffs on their migration path. On a clear day, you can also see sunfish sunbathing on the sea.
