The Burren and The Cliffs Of Moher ( Tickets can be purchased at Sea Breeze B&B )
Many of the views around The Burren are truly spectacular.
You won't forget Corkscrew Hill and its vista across Galway Bay; or the
journey around Head or the view from Ballinalacken Hill across to the
Aran Islands.
The Cliffs are 8kms long 214m high, it is here that one can most
easily get a fell for the wildness of the terrain over which the
Celts wandered, for although they built imposing Castles,
very often they preferred the outdoor nomadic life and the hunt.
The tower was built by Cornelius O'Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland and the O'Briens of Bunratty Castle as an observation point for the hundreds of tourists who even visited the Cliffs.
From here one can easily view the Cliffs, the Aran Islands, and Galway Bay as well as the Twelve Pins and the Maum Turk mountains to the North in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
