Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way: The Cliffs of Mohar

The Cliffs of Moher were on our bucket list long before we learned they're the most visited natural attraction in Ireland. As impressive as the cliffs are, the visitors centre is also noteworthy. Built into the terrain one can easily spend an hour exploring the displays in this multi-level building. The glassed arch is a feature of the restaurant.

Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way: the Connaught to Doolin

On the drive from Murrisk to Spiddal we were unusually silent if only because we'd never seen so many rocks or barren landscape in our lives. Think Sudbury, Ontario before reforestation only intensified ten or twentyfold. It was truly other-worldly. We could not fathom how anyone could make a living let alone survive in this harsh environment.
