The Cliffs of Moher in County Mayo, Ireland. The cliffs stretch for 8 kms and rise dramatically to 200 meters above the sea. You can view the cliffs from the viewing platform which requires a paid entry. Otherwise, you have the option of hiking the cliffs yourself. This photo was taken midway through the hike.

Gorgeous. Was there in ’04.
Thanks! It’s one of those places that takes your breath away, literally.
Stunning photo! Makes me want to go back to Ireland.
Beautiful shot! We loved the Cliffs of Moher but, unfortunately, it was really cloudy that day so our pictures all turned out verygray.
Have you ever seen the Princess Bride? If not you definitely should. These were the Cliffs of Insanity in that movie. Now that I’ve seen the photo I can see why 🙂
Was there almost 10 years ago…The sheer drop is Extremely Scary!
Marvelous pictures!
Outstanding pictures, I think Ireland is one of the best place for hiking in Europe!
