Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher

Today we drove from Blarney to Doolin.  Doolin is right on the coast south of Galway.  We are only 7 kilometres from the Cliffs of Moher.  After lunch we went to the cliffs and spent some time there.  It is a huge tourist attraction with parking lots for cars and buses.  There were over 20 buses in the lot when we were there and we passed 3 more on the way back to the campground.

Here is the view from the lookout tower at the north end of the cliffs.

The weather changes quickly, a squall was just off the end but we did not get wet.  They have a visitor centre, gift shops and a couple of cafes.

After we got back I walked into the village of Doolin.  It was a treacherous walk down the road as it is very narrow with only enough room for two small cars to pass and it is lined by two rock walls so there is no where to go.

I got this picture in the village.  It is a thatch roofed store.

These are the remains of Doolin Castle.
