Cliffs of Magho, Limestone cliffs in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
The Cliffs of Magho extend for nine kilometers along Lower Lough Erne, forming a natural limestone escarpment with steep faces and continuous scree slopes.
In November 1943, a Royal Air Force Short Sunderland flying boat crashed into the cliffs during a training flight, resulting in three crew member casualties.
The cliffs contain numerous hiking paths where local residents share traditional stories connected to the limestone formations and surrounding landscape.
Visitors can access the main viewpoint through a designated forest drive, with parking facilities available near the primary observation points.
The cliffs house the only known population of Irish Rock-bristle moss in the United Kingdom, a rare black moss species growing on wet calcareous rocks.
