UNESCO Global Geopark In Ireland - Cliffs Of Moher

The cliffs are visually spectacular against the Atlantic Ocean. The cliffs were formed over 320 million years ago and today form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark.

Pictures cannot do it justice but here is what caught my eye, I hope you enjoy!

O’Brien’s Tower was built on the cliffs in 1835 by the local landlord and MP Sir Cornelius O’Brien as an observation point for the English tourists who frequented the area from time to time.

It is said to have served as a teahouse or a folly, or maybe just to impress the ladies.
