Ireland is famous for its soaring cliffs and beaches carved by the Ice age.\u00a0Part of a UNESCO Global Geopark and Special Protection Area, the most iconic of them is the Cliffs of Moher. \u00a0The cliffs here soar to heights of 214 meters (702 feet) at their highest and are home to over 20 species of seabirds.<\/p>\n

Ireland has many castles dotting its vast countryside – ranging from medieval ruins to elaborate hotels. \u00a0Most of these castles were not built to be royal residences so are more modest in their appearance, they were mostly built during the country\u2019s Norman rule, and were designed primarily to act as defensive fortresses. Bunratty Castle<\/strong>, is a large 15th century castle and is one of Ireland\u2019s popular tourist attractions. \u00a0The MacNamara family constructed the vast structure that still stands to this day back in 1425 but the initial settlement is thought to date back to the time of the Vikings.<\/p>\n
