The Cliffs of Moher are located on the west coast of Ireland in County Clare, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. They stretch for about 8 kilometres (5 miles) along the coastline and rise to a maximum height of around 214 metres (702 feet) near O’Brien’s Tower, which was built in 1835 as a viewing point.

The cliffs are made up mainly of sandstone, siltstone, and shale, and they form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark. They are home to one of Ireland’s largest seabird colonies, including puffins, razorbills, and guillemots. It was also a filming spot of the Harry Potter Films.
