Cliffs of Moher

We had another bit of rain the day we walked
the famous Cliffs of Moher, Ireland’s most visited natural attraction. (In fact we had bits of rain
every day we were in Ireland. And rainbows every day as well.)
Unfortunately, these spectacular 120 m high cliffs
have also been described as one of the ‘most deadly tourist hotspots on the
planet.’ Despite extensive fencing along
the most-visited stretches of the cliff edge, designated ‘official’ paths, and many
ominously-illustrated warnings (note the now-famous selfie-sender featured in
the sign on the right, above), accidents and suicides are actually increasing in
frequency.
