Cliffs of Moher – Weekly Hump Day Photo
Happy Hump Day! What is Hump Day you may ask yourself? Check out this quick description then come right back…
Each Wednesday we post up a picture of something that we have found helps us imagine NOT being at work and helps us get to the weekend faster. It could be just a relaxing beach, a surfing location, a great snorkelling spot, a destination, well you get the idea.
Where In The World This Week?
The weekly hump day photo this week is from the Cliffs of Moher located on the rugged west coast of Ireland. The cliffs plunge over 700 feet to the Atlantic Ocean and are one of the most visited tourist attractions in Ireland with over 1 million visitors every year.
Even if you are headed to Dublin just for a weekend of debauchery and boozing for St Patricks Day then we would highly recommend hiring a car and spending a day here. Driving from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher takes nearly 3 hours if you head through Limerick. But it’s well worth the drive just for the scenery!
We hired a car for a quick 4 day road trip around the Irish coastline and this was definitely one of our favourite stops. It was such a shame that it was a wet and wild day with really low clouds but I think it adds to the atmosphere.
What memories does this photo evoke to help you get over Hump Day?

Cliffs of Moher are stunning – further up the coast are the Burren – wild and stark and then north of Galway
is Connemara which is beautiful with green hills rolling down to white sandy beaches and turquoise seas (when the sun’s out of course!) We had a long weekend there – the whole area and Galway is fab for a long weekend.
We basically only managed to get around the south coast of Ireland but did stop in at Galway for a night! Such an amazing place. I have heard that the beaches further north are spectacular Suzanne. Will have to check it out sometime.
You aren’t allowed to go that far
There is a sign about 100 meters before telling you to stop 
Been there two weeks ago… amazing place!!
Hahaha I know, we have a photo of us on the opposite side of that photo
A stunning location but you wouldn’t find me jumping in there, I’d be in the nearest pub.
Hahaha I think it might be a bit high to jump! Few good pubs actually around the area too, can’t believe I missed that out haha.
Aww my home country, I cant wait to explore it properly some day! Amazing photo, love the B&W perspective, you don’t often see the Cliffs of Moher portrayed in such a way!
Also no point being disappointed that you had bad weather…when is it NOT wet and cloudy in Ireland? It’s mid-June and my family tell me there was 5 inches of rain this week! :/
We have been living in Edinburgh for the last 18 months while we explore Europe so definitely understand the poor weather
The Cliffs of Moher were really amazing! Love to go back on a clear day and see them from the ocean.
Whilst I loved the cliffs of Moher and the facility, I actually preferred the cliffs at Slieve League in Donegal. Either way you’re spoilt for choice in Ireland, such an amazing country.
