A Day at the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren

eHeading away from Galway and beautiful Berna of the superb breakfasts, is the Burren. This mountain range is like the Brecon Beacons only stony and craggy.








They look like piles of rocks, a giant's sandpit, with mound after mound of rocky mountains and layer upon layer of stone. The rocks rise from the sea and fall back in again, creating cliffs: some slight, some sheer.




Shrine like structures surprise us there.





The cliffs of Moher rise 214m from the sea and carry on for miles.


Puffins, seals, whales and sharks can be seen, but we only saw waves.
Flowers and wild goats are a feature too, but we only saw weeds and cows.
