Itinerary description
|
Ireland Route from the Interpretation Center along the Cliffs of Moher to the village of Doolin.
Note: The gradients that appear are not correct. You can see from the profile that they are: gradient + 63 and gradient - 187.
The Cliffs of Moher (in English Cliffs of Moher, in Irish Gaelic, Aillte an Mhothair, literally "cliffs of ruin") are located on the south-western edge of the Burren region, near Doolin , in County Clare in the Republic of Ireland.
The cliffs take their name from an old fortress that was in Cap de la Vella, the southernmost point of the cliffs. Writer TJ Westropp refers to them as Moher ui Ruiz or Moher ui Ruidhin. The fort was still standing in 1780 and is mentioned in an account by John Lloyd in A Brief Visit of Clara (1780).[2] The field where the fort stood is still called Moher un Thairbh.
The cliffs are mainly composed of siltstones, shales, and sandstones,[3] with the oldest rocks found at the bottom of the cliffs.
There are many animals and birds that live on the cliffs. Most of these are birds, with an estimated 30,000 birds, representing more than 20 species. Among them, Atlantic friars, who live in large colonies in isolated parts of the cliffs and on the small island of Goat. Hawks, gulls, loons, cormorants, ravens and jackdaws are also present.
The cliffs rise 120 m above the Atlantic Ocean at a point called Hag's Head and stretch for 8 kilometers to a height of 214 m.
