The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.

 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 

On our way to Kilarney. Note the narrow roads and how close the bus had to get to the hedgerow.

 
   
 

Local fishing boats called Curricks.

 
   
 

We had lunch at Crottys in Kilrush, County Clare. Note the truckful of peat, which is still used for heating.

 
   
 

All of the homes we saw were small and pin neat. Shrubs are not planted near the foundation of the house.

 
   
 
 

We crossed the River Shannon by ferry.

 
   
   
   
   
 

Our bus driver took an alternate route to avoid traffic and got a bit lost. A local resident advised us to take this one lane road. Unfortunately a farmer was also using it. We had to back up about a mile to let him pass.

 
   
 

While traveling from the Cliffs of Moher to Killarney we saw a lot of beautiful terrain.

 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 

In Killarney we took a carriage ride through the park and to see the Ross Castle.
