Cliffs of Moher: Mist As of July 2009, the Cliffs were named one of 28 global finalists in the “New Seven Wonders of Nature”.

A visit to these cliffs should not be missed. The Cliffs of Moher take their name from a ruined promontory fort “Mothar” which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower.

The cliffs of Moher are located just south of the Village of Doolin in Co Clare Ireland. Hint: Use “J” and “K” keys (after the page finish loading) to navigate from picture to picture.
