This tour is for visitors who are driving or holidaying in Ireland and want to enjoy a relaxing tour from the town of Lahinch.
The tower was built on the cliffs in 1835 by the local landlord and MP Sir Cornelius O’Brien as an observation point for the English tourists who frequented the area at the time. It is said to have initially served as a teahouse or folly; another version tells of Cornelius building the tower in order to impress the women he was courting! Whatever the truth, from this vantage point on a clear day you can see the Aran Islands and the Twelve Bens of Connemara across Galway Bay.
Guests will enter the interpretative exhibition, with the local guide or a guided tour of select exhibits which not only animates the story of the Cliffs, presenting the geology, wildlife and human aspects but draws stories and information from all around County Clare and Ireland.

Martin our guide was born and has lived in this area along with his ancestors. His family has land directly overlooking the Cliffs and farms the land. Truly a remarkable, genuinely kind person who shares things about the area that only local residents know. We were the only 5 people on the tour so it felt truly personal. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Martin and this tour!
We had a wonderful time with Martin! His knowledge and personal family history in the area was priceless. I’d highly recommend this tour!
