Day 1- The Cliffs of Moher
Yes these cliffs are incredibly beautiful to look at.
The cliffs take their name from an old fort that once stood on Hag's Head, the most southern point of the Cliffs.
The cliffs consist mainly of beds of Namurian shale and sandstone with the oldest rocks being found at the bottom of the cliffs. It is possible to see 300 million year-old river channels cutting through, forming unconformities at the base of the cliffs
My mom and I may have trespassed at one point....crawling over a giant wall...onto farmers land...hiking through the mud and water that settled in puddles....but dont worry. We didnt end up in the police car in Ireland!
The Cliffs of Moher have been featured on film numerous times, including in Leap Year (2010), The Princess Bride (1987), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
AND. A man threw himself off the cliffs the day before we got there...after he tied his wife to their bed and left her for three days.. awesome.
I still absolutely love the Cliffs of Mohrer!! So BEAUTIFUL!! It was lovely sharing it with you! Absolutely BRILLIANT!! ;)
