The Cliffs of Moher
(Irish: Aillte a Mhothair)
are located at the southwestern
edge of the Burren
region in County Clare, Ireland.
They rise 120 meters
(390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's
Head, and reach their maximum height
of 214 meters (702 ft) just
north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometers to the
north.
The cliffs receive almost one million visitors a year.
There is a charge of €6 per adult, and children
under 16 are
admitted free. This charge includes access to the visitor center
building, entry to the Cliffs Exhibition - Atlantic Edge, parking,
and a
contribution towards conservation and safety
at the cliffs.
Discounts for seniors and students are available.
The Cliffs of Moher
have appeared in several films,
including: The Princess Bride (1987)
(as the
filming location for "The Cliffs of Insanity"),
Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince (2009).
In music, the cliffs have appeared in music videos,
including Maroon 5's "Runaway" video, Westlife's "My Love".
So it is interesting for me to travel,
I want to experience the real The Cliffs
of Moher in my life,
not just see in the media only.
