Cliff Path Safety Code

Keep to the official path, away from the dangerous cliff edge and overhangs.

The cliff path is dangerous and not suitable for children.

Be aware that weather conditions can change suddenly. Strong onshore
wind can suddenly change to offshore as the wind eddies on the higher
sections of the cliff. Heavy fog is common and results in extremely poor visibility.

Apply the principles of Leave No Trace and The Burren Code by being well
prepared for your walk, following trail notices, taking home your rubbish
and minimising your impact on the environment.
