You step out of a leather-seat Mercedes and the Atlantic immediately takes the lead — wind pressing at your jacket, gulls wheel like punctuation against a raw horizon. The Cliffs of Moher unfold: sheer rock faces falling to the sea, the west pushing and shaping the land for millennia. Your guide sets the pace, moving between observatories and cliff-edge trails while explaining how the Burren’s limestone slabs were once seabed, folded and exposed into the moonlike pavements you’ll cross.
