Have You Been To Ireland's "Cliffs Of Insanity"?

The Cliffs of Moher are a stunning geological formation on the west coast of Ireland that were immortalized in the film “The Princess Bride” (1987). In this classic movie, they were referred to as The Cliffs of Insanity, The Killer Cliffs and even The Cliffs of the Ruin. This iconic location has remained unchanged for thousands of years due to its layers of Namurian shale, siltstone and sandstone. The cliffs are estimated to be 300 million years old, with the oldest rock formations located at the bottom.
