Complex "Cliffs of Moher"
The Cliffs of Moher is another calling card and one of Ireland's natural gems. They inherited their name from Fort Mothar, destroyed during the Napoleonic Wars due to the need to build a signal tower at Hags Head.
Stunning and amazingly beautiful! These are the first thoughts that tourists have when they see this miracle of nature. The cliffs are one of the most visited places in Ireland, but in any case, be careful, as there are no protective barriers, and some areas can be very unsafe. Located in the Burren area (County Clare), they reach 214 meters, stretching for 8 kilometers in length along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There are beautiful panoramic views - to the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, to the north they are adjacent to the Maum Turk mountains in Connemara and the Twelve Bens mountain range, and to the south of the cliffs is Loop Head.
The rocks serve as a refuge for large colonies of birds. There are more than 20 types of them here. Large colonies of Atlantic puffin, hawks, gulls, cormorants… you can't count them all.
The southernmost point of the Cliffs of Moher is the Witch's Head. This is an unusual rock formation that resembles the head of a woman looking at the sea. There is a legend about the Old Witch Mal, who fell in love with the famous Irish hero Cuchulainn. The hero was proud and spoiled by the attention of the girls. Cuchulainn did not reciprocate the witch's feelings. Mal pursued the hero throughout Ireland, and almost overtook him at the Cliffs of Moher. In an attempt to escape the harassment, Cuchulainn jumped towards the Cliffs of Moher using the kekurs as stepping stones. Mal tried to follow him, but she wasn't quite as agile as she put her foot past the foothold, taking off from where the Witch's Head was. And the blood, as they say, colored the whole sea.
South of the Witch's Head stands O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower. It marks the highest point of the Cliffs of Moher. A short distance away is the village of Doolin, famous for traditional Irish music, and the resort coastal village of Liscannor. The tower was built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, a descendant of the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru, as an observation tower for hundreds of tourists from Victorian England who frequented the Cliffs of Moher. He believed that tourism would bring great benefits to the local economy and help the poor people first. O'Brien also built a wall of stone slabs along the cliffs and is generally said to have built everything in the area except the cliffs themselves.
How did the Cliffs of Moher form? About 320 million years ago, during the Upper Carboniferous period, when the climate in this area was much warmer, there was a mouth of a large river here. The river brought mud and sand with it. These deposits gradually accumulated and eventually formed a layered rock, which appears before us in the form of the Cliffs of Moher.
In the building of the tourist center, which opened its doors in 2007 and is a unique structure, like a cave, harmoniously blending into the wonderful landscape of the area, there is an exhibition-museum. It tells the history of the Cliffs of Moher in three thematic directions: ocean, rocks and man. Under the arches of the exhibition hall, you can watch 2 short films "Journey through County Clare" and "On the edge of the ledge".
The Cliffs of Moher has been featured in many movies, including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Far Far Away, Leap Year, and The Princess Bride.
In the center you can find out your pedigree and family coat of arms, send photos with views of the cliffs home, as well as have lunch and buy souvenirs.
I also relaxed with you in the bathhouse, I was already almost sucked in and I thought - what for are we going to hotels and flowers? We feel good here too ... wheezing, wheezing, yum yum ... ooooh .... yumnyanmkhrpishchooo ... Why not at least 2 days? I think it will be even further .... and then again ... Has a year passed? Is your favorite exotic series over? I'm crying... My spa... how can I be in the office without it? A Whole Life is such a wonderful series: wonderful style, wonderful illustrations! And these baths... oooh! Thank you for the pleasure, now I know how I want to relax! nyamnyanmhrpishchooo... sorry for my Chinese :) I completely agree with staruha_izergil that we need an epilogue with conclusions and recommendations! We can't just leave - we were together in the bath! And this is forever! :) Thank you!

Thank you Tanya for our fantastic trip! 17 days of beauty, relaxation, novelty! In general, I discovered China for myself - so different, ancient and modern, mountains and lakes, rivers and thermal springs, cable cars soaring in the sky...
Do you remember how we often repeated the phrase "Tanya, WE ARE IN CHINA!!" to return to reality - it was so amazingly unreal - really like another planet!
And all this thanks to your careful preparation for the trip. You just did a gigantic job of planning the route, finding sights, beauties, interesting hotels, convenient transportation. And your knowledge of the Chinese language has become just a lifesaver in situations where simply no one spoke another language (which is often in China)
And good travel preparation is the key to a successful trip.
And imagine how lucky I was - I "came to everything ready") And in my fellow travelers I had an experienced traveler, a pleasant conversationalist and just a wonderful person!
I can say that we were like "on the same wavelength" - having decided that the trip should be relaxing and educational - both of us hung over the beauties with pleasure - and we were in no hurry anywhere, there was no stress, no rush - and everything was like - it was solved, and everything worked out.
And I also hope that this was not our last trip! The world is so beautiful!
Besides, after all we were together in a bath! :) And this is forever! ))))))
Спасибо тебе Танюша за наше фантастическое путешествие ! 17 дней красоты, релакса, новизны ! Я вообще открыла для себя Китай - такой разный, античный и современный, горы и озёра, реки и термальные источники, канатные дороги парящие в небесах...
Ты помнишь как мы часто повторяли фразу " Таня , МЫ В КИТАЕ !! " чтобы вернуться в реальность - настолько это было потрясяюще нереально - действительно как другая планета !
И всё это благодаря твоей тщательной подготовке к поездке. Ты просто провела гигантскую работу по составлению маршрута, поиску достопримечательностей, красот, интересных отелей, удобного транспорта. А твоё знание китайского языка - это стало просто палочкой-выручалочкой в ситуациях, когда на другом языке просто никто не разговаривал ( что часто в Китае )
А хорошая подготовка к путешествию - это залог удачного путешествия. И представь как мне повезло - я "пришла на всё готовенькое" ) И в попутчиках у меня была опытный путешественник, приятный собеседник да и просто прекрасный человек !
Я могу сказать, что мы были как " на одной волне " - решив , что поездка должна быть релаксирующе-познавательной - мы обе с удовольствием зависали над красотами - и уже никуда не спешили, не было ни стресса, ни спешки - и всё как-то решалось, и всё удавалось.
И я тоже надеюсь, что это было не последнее наше путешествие ! Мир так прекрасен !
Кроме того, ведь мы же были вместе в бане ! :) А это навсегда! )))))
