Visitors frequently journey to this region of County Clare in Ireland as they traverse the Wild Atlantic Way to witness the Cliffs of Moher and find themselves delightfully surprised by their discoveries.

The Cliffs of Moher comprise a spectacular 14-km stretch of towering vertical sea cliffs that rise majestically 702 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. They sit merely a seven-minute drive from the village of Liscannor, positioning it as the ideal pit stop during your expedition to this landmark.

The location provides unparalleled vistas of Ireland and serves as a perfect destination for keen birdwatchers, complete with a visitor centre. One traveller who tackled the trail commented on TripAdvisor: "This natural landmark is so beautiful and awesome.

"You stand there on the cliff and literally are in awe at God's creation. What a peaceful and powerful landscape to admire."

Beyond all the magnificent rambles that encircle the village, Liscannor itself presents numerous attractions for tourists. It happens to be a location in Ireland boasting one of the densest concentrations of pubs, given its modest population.

All within strolling distance are some of the most welcoming and authentic pubs, providing substantial fare and an extensive range of beers. Joseph McHugh's Pub and Restaurant occupies a picturesque position in the coastal village and enjoys glowing testimonials regarding its delicious cuisine.

They present a menu featuring locally sourced Irish ingredients, including the fish and seafood, which comes from the adjacent piers. Alongside this sits Vaughan's Anchor Inn, which has welcomed visitors to the seafront since 1979.

The establishment has remained under the stewardship of the same family since opening, and they focus on local seafood, delivering an authentic taste of Ireland - earning recognition from the Michelin guide. A recent diner declared they experienced the "best fish in Ireland" here.

They posted on TripAdvisor: "Best fish restaurant during our 10-day trip through Ireland. I recommend the monkfish, even better than the excellent lobster."

Other beloved venues within this compact yet stunning village include the lively Egan's Bar and T. O'Brien Bar, celebrated for their excellent drinks selection. Both establishments frequently feature live music, generating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the village, particularly during summer evenings in their welcoming beer gardens.

Egan's bar represents a traditional piece of Irish culture, having operated since 1910, providing a venue that's both intimate and steeped in history. Their website proudly declares they serve "the area's best drop of Guinness" and even provide lessons for visitors on achieving the perfect pint.

A continuous programme of live music events takes place here, allowing walkers and motorists to enjoy an evening of entertainment before continuing their journeys along the Wild Atlantic Way.
