Great adventure for our family! We read the helpful hint about going through the gate to the second car park area ~ invaluable advise. We hiked up the to very top - a must! The view of the valley below is almost as great as the view of the ocean. The ride there in our rental car was great fun and added to the adventure. One of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.

“Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2012

This is a beautiful area. There are two car parks, one at the bottom and one at the top. The only requirement if driving to the top is that you close the gate behind you as you drive up. The walk from the bottom car park is about 1.5KM and steep at the start. I am 7 months pregnant and would have found this tough going, so we drove up. The road is a little narrow so take your time if driving. There are picnic benches and regular benches to sit and enjoy the view. Nice spot to have lunch if you brought a picnic. There is a viewing platform just around from the top car park, and if you are fit enough there is a path that brings you higher again - be aware this path beyond the top car park is not paved, so you need to fairly fit and sure footed to go up to the top. It is well worth the visit as the views are amazing.

“Highest cliffs in Europe and views better than Cliffs of Moran”

WOW! Our photos tell it all but I must say this is fantastic. Go up to the second gate and you can park just as the hike on the cliffs start. Wwe watch dolphins down below playing in the water as we hiked to the peak you see in the center of the clifffs.. The clouds overtook us so we left as the view was shrouded, this place is more beautiful and more dramatic than the Cliffs of Moran, and not a "tourist trap" there may be a cart vendor or two and thats it. make sure a see it if you are anywhere near it!

“Amazing!”

This spot was on our weeklong itinerary through Ireland, and was probably the best thing we saw. We stayed at Sligo, travelled and hiked here, and still had enough time to spend the afternoon in Derry and spend the night in Portrush. Take the road and park at the second car park (yes, you have to open the gate yourself and might have to move the sheep off the road to get to the second car park). We hiked on the defined path, then hiked about half of the 6 mile total hike on the cliffs. Amazing views and scenery, and well worth the drive.

“View you will never forget”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 26, 2012

These are the tallest cliffs in Europe -- tight/narrow road, but well worth it.
