Cliffs of Moher walk (part one: Doolin to Hag's Head)
5/18/2015.
Woke up to a little sunshine at 6:30am so I skipped breakfast and shower and went straight from bed to trail, as the weather forecast said this day, my only day to walk Cliffs of Moher, was going to be another rainy day. The walk turned out to be dramatic right from the start, with rainbow, sun, rain, wind, ocean spray, or all the above at the same time. Entering the trail in front of Doolin Hostel, I reached Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre before it's open, and continued along the coast to Hag's Head, about 7.5 miles one way. In one ridge section between Visitor Centre and Hag's Head, the wind was literarily blowing me off the ground that I had to lay low, grab the grass, and wait for my chances to pass. This is the original and the best of Burren Way.
The Enormous Cliffs of Moher in Liscannor - Ireland
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most iconic, and most visited, natural attractions. Soaring more 700 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, they stretch from about the village of Doolin, for nearly five miles to Hags Head in County Clare at the southwestern edge of the Burren region. These imposing, breathtaking cliffs also offer some of the most amazing views in the country. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear the beautiful sounds of Irish harpist Tina Mulrooney entertaining visitors with traditional Irish ballads like “Danny Boy” while the ocean waves crash below.

CLIFFS of MOHER - Liscannor, Co. Clare, Ireland
The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, They run for about 14 kilometres (9 miles). At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor 6 km (4 miles) to the south, and Doolin 7 km (4 miles) to the north.
From the cliffs, and from atop the tower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south. The cliffs rank among the most visited tourist sites in Ireland, with around 1.5 million visits per annum.
The cliffs take their name from an old promontory fort called Mothar or Moher, which once stood on Hag's Head, the southernmost point of the cliffed coast, now the site of Moher Tower.
Cliffs of Moher walk (part two: Hag's Head to Doolin)
5/18/2015.
This is the return portion of my round trip walk from Doolin to Hag's Head. With the ever-changing weather and loads of bus tourists around Visitor Centre, it felt almost like a different trail. I had a quick lunch at the Visitor Centre and continued to walk towards Doolin, gradually leaving the hustle and bustle behind. In the afternoon I chose a section of the original cliff-top trail that had been fenced off and diverted away from the eroding coast. And it was again complete solitude, accompanied only by wild flowers and the howling wind. Together I walked 15 miles today.
On the edge at the Cliffs of Moher - Liscannor, Ireland
Didn’t realize how afraid of heights I was until we came here! Enjoyed the spectacular beauty but was kind of glad to leave, too. The main trail runs right along the unprotected edge. My daughter enjoyed making me nervous while she spun around near the cliff edge. :-0
