På området finns promenadvägar, rastplatser med bord och bänkar, fågeltorn samt intressanta ruiner efter befästningar från de två världskrigen. Floran och faunan är artrik. Möjlighet till bad både på uddens östra och västra sida.
Bempton Cliffs, on the spectacular Yorkshire coast, is home to one of the UK's top wildlife spectacles. Around half a million seabirds gather here between March and October to raise a family on towering chalk cliffs which overlook the North Sea. RSPB
The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometers (9 miles) and offer dramatic views from the Coastal Walk trail. The cliffs have been featured in many movies including Harry Potter, The Princess Bride, Leap Year, and many more.
The cliff walk around Ardmore Head takes about an hour to do the loop around the headland and back into the village. After leaving the serene St. Declan's well and hemitage you'll see a wrecked crane from a ship that's now popular with divers, two old lookout posts, an abandoned coast guard station and Fr. O'Donnell's well. Just a few of the sights along the trail plus the beautiful views of Ardmore Bay and along the coast to Youghal and Knockadoon in County Cork. It's a nice way to spend an hour.
I hope you're enjoying the images from my latest trip to Ireland. I'm trying to keep them in order, like a travel blog to give you a sense of taking the trip with me.
Thank you all for your kind comments and favs. Have a terrific Thursday everyone. :-)))
Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin (nördlich der Klippen) und Liscannor (südlich der Klippen).
Die meist von Pflanzen überwucherten Ruinen eines befestigten Wohnsitzes eines Häuptlings werden in der Provinz Munster, so auch im County Clare, häufig mothar (gesprochen „moher“) genannt. Auf der Klippe nahe Hag’s Head an der Westküste des County Clare stand einst ein solches Steinfort, genannt Moher O’Ruan („O’Ruans zerfallenes Fort“). Diese Landmarke gab den Klippen ihren Namen.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Der O’Brien’s Tower liegt etwa auf der Hälfte der Uferstrecke und entstand 1835 im Auftrag von Sir Cornellius O’Brien als Wachturm. Bei guter Sicht sind von dort aus die Aran Islands und mitunter auch die Galway Bay zu sehen. Jenseits dieser liegen die Maumturk-Berge in Connemara.
Am Kliff leben fast ausschließlich Vögel; eine Zählung ergab 30.000 Tiere in 30 Arten. Die interessantesten sind die atlantischen Papageientaucher, die in großen Kolonien an isolierten Stellen des Kliffs und auf Goat Island leben. Des Weiteren gibt es Falken, Möwen, Krähenscharben, Trottellummen und Alke.

Stu and I visited Mesa Verde 17 years ago. This is an AI generated picture of Cliff Palace. This was such an amazing trip!
Along the Ring of Kerry, we stopped at the Kerry Cliffs - they are incredible to see and the nice thing is, not many people go there... everyone heads over to the more popular Cliffs of Moher, but we loved it here & had it pretty much to ourselves : )
This is my attempt at an iPhone pano to show you this amazing place!
Digging through old photos, it's too hot to go outside!
Mesa Verde National Park is in southwest Colorado. It's known for its well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings. Mesa Top Loop Road winds past archaeological sites and overlooks, including Sun Point Overlook with panoramic canyon views. Petroglyph Point Trail has several rock carvings.

I was desperate to get back to Pembrokeshire, just to get a dose of blue seas and limestone cliffs. The Stack Rocks area didn't disappoint, I spent a lovely few hours slowly scrambling around the healands and just taking in these wonderful seascapes. Even The Stars is by I Am Kloot
Walking along West Cliff Drive on a cloudy day in Santa Cruz, California. Just looking for some photons to capture.
Madeira liegt auf der Afrikanischen Platte und ist, wie auch seine Nachbarn, die Azoren und die Kanarischen Inseln, vulkanischen Ursprungs.
Die Insel ist nur das oberste Viertel des gesamten Vulkansystems. Die Klippen fallen unter der Wasseroberfläche bis zu 4.000 m zum Meeresgrund ab.

I was on a longboat in Phang Nga region of Thailand. on the way to James Bond island. Many other boats there but a great day out.
Another of my dawn excursions to the cliffs of the Cornish Coast. Sadly the sun didn't manage to pierce the clouds on this morning and the clifftops were shrouded in a drizzle as I made my way by head torch along the SW Coastal path.
I found this spot by an old Second World War Coastal Defence bunker. It meant stumbling down a heather clad slope to get this view of the headland of Treryn Dinas in the distance. Even with the lack of colour in the sky, the setting was spectacular. This stretch of coastline is beautiful in any light.

Walking next to the beautiful cliffs and over paddocks.
