A wind-swept lane from Killarney opens onto a horizon where the Atlantic dares you to look: the Cliffs of Moher rise in sheer sheets of rock, dark against spray and sky. Visitors step from the comfort of a chauffeured, air-conditioned vehicle onto paths that trace the cliff edge; gull calls and the slap of surf set a brisk pace as O'Brien's Tower punctuates the skyline.
