If scenes from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from 2009 comes to mind, then yes these are the same cliffs. These sea cliffs made of sand, silt and clay formed more than 300 million years ago, is continuously evolving through erosion from the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
The cliffs of Moher, or Aillte an Mhothair in Irish, ranks as one of Ireland's most visited tourist sites, with around 1.5 million visitors a year. O'Brien's Tower as seen in this photo, was built in 1835 as an observation tower.
It is believed that O'Brien's Tower is actually an old teahouse. That's quite a teahouse with a magnificent view if you ask me.
Explore the Cliffs of Moher on a 12-hour tour from Dublin, and travel back through Ireland’s rich heritage on a scenic drive to the Galway coast.
Stop en route for spectacular photo opportunities in Kinvara fishing village, Bunratty Castle and more. The Irish flag waving over the Bunratty Castle. I highly recommend a day of visit at the Bunratty Castle and Folk Park.
