Cliffs of Moher news


A section of the ledge along the top of the cliffs has fallen into the sea.

Tony,

Thanks for the update. I often thought that if people could see a bird's eye view of the cliffs from the ocean side they wouldn't dare go out on those ledges. Many are severely undercut with nothing but air holding them up. They look solid from the landward side. But looks are deceiving. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

Thank you for that update on the Cliffs. I remember the first time I was in Ireland, a day or so after I visited the Cliffs, a woman fell to her death. They didn't know if it was an accident or if she jumped. That was back in the days when visitors could go right out to the edge. Not a good idea. no.gif
