Ireland – The Cliffs of Moher


These majestic cliffs, among the most magnificent stretches of cliff scenery in these islands, front the Atlantic to a height of nearly 200m and extend for a distance of 8 km from Hag’s Head due West of  hisscanner to a point beyond O’Brien’s Tower. They take their name from a ruined promontory fort, Mothar, which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower. This lovely card is from Emma.
