You step out of a private vehicle onto wind-scoured grass where the Atlantic stretches—raw and loud—toward the horizon. The Cliffs of Moher rise to your right, a sheer line of shale and sandstone climbing to about 214 metres at their highest; waves at their base dare you closer while the cliff path rewards measured steps with sweeping sea views.
