Wild Atlantic Way

South Atlantic

Clare & Limerick — cliffs, karst and the Shannon

The Cliffs of Moher, the limestone plain of the Burren and the estuary where the Shannon meets the sea. The most-visited stretch of the west coast, with far more to it than the famous viewpoint.

The Burren

A 15,000-hectare karst landscape in north Clare — a plain of limestone and dry stone walls, a UNESCO Global Geopark, and one of the great walking places in the country.

The Cliffs of Moher

Two kilometres of cliff falling up to 214 metres into the Atlantic, above the village of Doolin — the most visited natural site in the country, and still worth going to, if you know how.

Access to the cliffs is free; the visitor centre is ticketed.
