Looking north from O'Brien's Tower you can spot this view of the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs are the natural home for an estimated 30,000 birds, living on the cliffs, representing more than 20 species. These include Atlantic Puffins, which live in large colonies at isolated parts of the cliffs.

In 2007, a Visitor Centre was built , where you can find inside a Cliff Exhibition Area, the Puffins Nest Cafe, the Cliffs View Cafe, the gift shop, a baggage store, accommodation booking and information points, graphic displays and images of the Cliffs including a stunning photo opportunity, public toilets, ATM and a fully equipped first aid room. As you can imagine, everything very nature friendly and blablabla.

For me, it was a huge disappointment to visit the cliffs, as it remembered me visiting a kind of nature-disneyland. To arrive there, you must pay 8€ (no matter the time) at the parking on the entrance, and then. take a walk via a fully wheelchair accessible stone path, behind a security fence, as well very eco-friendly.

Sorry folks, but that is not nature, and of course, I think that is not way it should be. All the beauty of the place has been blown away by this way of doing things.

By the way, a new visitor centre is going to be built in the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland (UK)... tourism will kill us all.
