The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience

You can also see the Cliffs of Moher at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience which is located almost midway along these spectacular cliffs about a 10 minute drive from Doolin.

A Signature Discovery Point on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way the site is home to a visitor centre set into the hillside along with shops a cafe a very large coach park and a car park.

While the cliff edge views are stunning, the experience can be dulled due to overcrowding. Almost one and a half million people visit the visitor centre every year, with about half coming on day tour coaches from Dublin. This results in the site becoming very busy from 12:00 onwards,

If you really want to experience the magic of the Cliffs of Moher, then get out of the city for a few days and book yourself a room on the west coast of Ireland. This will give you a chance to hike along the uncrowded trails from Doolin or Hags Head, take a cruise along the bottom of the cliffs, or experience a magical Cliffs of Moher sunset..
