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. |
