The Cliffs of Moher

I’m a student from Germany and I’m here to do an Internship at “KA Au Pair Agency” and I live in a host family to improve my English knowledge.

My colleagues from Germany and I did a trip to the Cliffs of Moher last Saturday. If you are interested in visiting this place, here you can read some information about the trip.

The Cliffs of Moher are located at the south-western edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. There are three platforms, the main platform, the north and the south platform. The North platform is located at the highest point of the Cliffs, Knockardakin at 214 m or 700 feet above sea level.

The start of our trip. First we drove with a bus operator which was organised by our company in Germany. We met at the venue in the city centre at 06:30 am on a Saturday morning. There was a regular  programme for this day. We did lots of stops to take pictures from nice places, for example:

-The old stone Church on Suffolk Street

-A Karst/Limestone area

-Dunguaire Castle 

-National parks

The highlight of our trip were the “Cliffs of Moher”. We visited them for one and a half hour. I made a lot of pictures from this breath-taking landscape. After we visited the Cliffs of Moher we stopped for lunch at Fitzpatricks pub, and we had an amazing seafood meal.

In the afternoon we travelled back to Dublin and arrived at 7 pm in the city centre.

Visiting the cliffs of Moher is a must-do for anyone. You can’t miss this experience. My recommendation for this trip is to wear comfortable shoes for example alpine boots and a cagoule, because you never know what’s the weather is like!

And don’t forget your camera with a full rechargeable battery to make wonderful photos from this unique landscape.

Have a nice trip and enjoy your stay in Dublin, Ireland.

Kind regards,

Marina Bergbold
