Cliffs of Moher
By Frankie Donlon

   The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top tourist attractions and get their name from a ruined fort "Mothar" which was destroyed in the Napoleonic wars. The cliffs reach 214m high and 8 kilometers over the Atlantic Ocean. The tower in the distance is called O'Brien's Tower. O'Brien's Tower is refered to as the midpoint of the clifs. It was build by Sir Cornelius O'Brien. On a clear day at the Cliffs, it is known that one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South. Point Park University was able to see the beautiful sight on May 20.
