Clare.  The cliffs stretch 5 miles from Hag\u2019s Head (390 feet) in the south to Doolin in the north.  The highest point is 700 feet.  The cliffs get their name from Fort Moher\/Mothar once located at Hag\u2019s Head.  The cliffs are composed of layered shale, sandstone and flagstone containing marine fossils.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007 the Visitors Centre was opened.  For ecological reasons, it was built under ground.   We enjoyed the multimedia screen presentation showing a bird\u2019s eye view from the cliffs, and a seal\u2019s eye view from the water.  There are an estimated 30,000 birds living on the cliffs \u2013 including puffins and razorbills.  Feral goats also roam about.<a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/55\/2017\/07\/moh.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17944\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.production.patheos.com\/blogs\/bibleandculture\/files\/2017\/07\/moh-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"moh\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17944\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/55\/2017\/07\/moh1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17945\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.production.patheos.com\/blogs\/bibleandculture\/files\/2017\/07\/moh1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"moh1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17945\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/55\/2017\/07\/moh2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17946\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.production.patheos.com\/blogs\/bibleandculture\/files\/2017\/07\/moh2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"moh2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17946\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/55\/2017\/07\/moh5.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17947\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.production.patheos.com\/blogs\/bibleandculture\/files\/2017\/07\/moh5-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"moh5\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17947\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/55\/2017\/07\/moh7.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17948\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.production.patheos.com\/blogs\/bibleandculture\/files\/2017\/07\/moh7-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"moh7\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17948\"><\/a> Climbing to the top is a bit of a hike, but well worth it.
