The Coastal Path from Doolin towards the Cliffs of Moher leads directly along the cliffs. Especially in rough, windy weather - as is so often the case in Ireland - this is an adventure. In addition, you then have the path almost to yourself, in contrast to the overcrowded Cliffs of Moher.

On this section you walk towards the cliffs on sometimes narrow trails and have a wonderful view of the open sea. On a clear day you can clearly see the largest of the Aran Islands (Inis Moir). My tip in the rain: just wrap up thick and let everything come towards you. It is an unforgettable experience.

A little farther from the visitor center it is not crowded. Pay attention to good footwear when it rains, the way can become quite slippery in places and only runs close to the edge. Impressive in any weather!

Beyond the Horizon

August 4, 2022

The Atlantic coast at Doolin is not just any stretch of coast - it is a place where the raw power of the sea meets the terra firma to create dramatic cliff landscapes. Start your hike on the Coastal Path in Doolin and be enchanted by the Cliffs of Moher, which rise like stone sentinels from the sea.

With every step you take on this path, which often winds dangerously close to the edge of the cliffs, you feel the adventure. And when the typical Irish wind brushes your face and the salty spray of the waves is in the air, then you know you've come to the right place. Especially on stormy days, when the sky is gray and the waves crash against the rock walls, you have the impression of being alone with nature.

Your gaze is constantly drawn to the open sea, where on clear days the largest of the Aran Islands, Inis Moir, appears on the horizon. The path, sometimes wide and easy to walk on, sometimes narrow and bumpy, requires special caution when it rains. It quickly becomes clear here: good shoes are mandatory. But the effort and adventure are rewarded, especially when you leave the hustle and bustle of the visitor center behind. Here, a little away, the real experience just begins.

Camera in hand, you will feel the urge to capture every moment. Because these imposing cliffs and the unbridled power of the Atlantic are a feast for the senses and the lens. Each photo becomes a reminder of the raw beauty of this place, where the ocean and land merge in an eternal dance.

If you want to experience the Irish countryside in its most authentic form, then the route from Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher is for you. It offers less of the typical tourist hustle and bustle, but rather a genuine, intense natural experience. It is this part of the Atlantic coast where you can feel the true soul of Ireland: wild, untamed and absolutely fascinating.
