The Cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. The cliffs are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland and topped a list of attractions in 2006 by receiving almost one million visitors at the official visitor centre. Since 2011, they have formed a part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark, one of a family of geotourism destinations throughout Europe that are members of the European Geoparks Network and also recognized by UNESCO. The cliffs are also a `signature point` on the official Wild Atlantic Way tourist trail. The cliffs have appeared in several films and music videos.
O`Brien`s Tower was built on the cliffs in 1835 as an observation point for the English tourists who frequented the area at the time.
