Kilkee Cliff Walk, Coastal footpath in County Clare, Ireland
The Kilkee Cliff Walk extends for 5 kilometers along limestone cliffs that reach heights of 90 meters above the Atlantic Ocean, featuring natural rock formations and sea stacks.
During the Victorian era, this coastal path became a notable walking route when Kilkee developed as a seaside resort for wealthy residents of Limerick City.
The path passes by Bishop's Island, where remains of early Christian structures indicate the presence of devoted religious settlements dating from the 8th century.
The walk starts at Diamond Rocks Cafe and follows white markers, requiring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing due to exposed coastal conditions.
Natural rock pools called the Pollock Holes emerge at low tide beneath the cliffs, creating protected swimming areas filled with marine life.
