The Cliffs of Moher are a
line of sheer cliffs approx. 8km in length, extending from Lough Point in the
north to Cancregga in the south. The cliffs reach their maximum height of
200m at Knockardakin just northeast of O'Briens's Tower. Knockardin is the
highest point of a range of hills that the cliffs cut obliquely across. To
the north the cliffs are cut into a northwest-facing slope. To the
south the top of the cliffs are the highest point, with the ground falling
away to the southeast. |
