The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare. They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft). There is a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, the tower was built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O’Brien. From the cliffs and from the top of the tower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks, The Twelve Pins mountain range to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south.

The cliffs rank among the top-visited tourist sites in Ireland and receive almost one million visitors a year.
