Cliffs Of Moher County Clare, Ireland Travel Guide
Begin with a moisture-wicking base layer. Materials like merino wool or synthetic fabrics (polyester, polypropylene) are excellent. They pull sweat away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable. Avoid cotton as a base layer; it absorbs moisture and dries slowly, causing cold when wet. Add an insulating mid-layer for warmth, like a fleece jacket or wool sweater. This layer traps air, providing insulation. You can easily add or remove this layer as temperatures change. An outer layer is the most important for the Cliffs of Moher.
Quick-drying hiking trousers are suitable for exploring the Cliffs and the Burren. They offer comfort and flexibility. Avoid jeans for outdoor activities; they become heavy and cold when wet and dry slowly. For extended outdoor exposure or very wet conditions, pack waterproof over-trousers that pull on over regular trousers. A warm hat, like a beanie, offers usefulness, especially outside of summer, providing warmth and wind protection. In summer, a sun hat or baseball cap offers sun protection for your face and eyes. Lightweight, windproof gloves bring benefit, specifically in spring, autumn, and winter, keeping hands warm.
For the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk and other Burren trails, waterproof hiking boots offer necessary grip on wet/muddy paths and ankle support on uneven terrain.
A comfortable pair of waterproof walking shoes or sneakers are useful for exploring villages, visiting attractions, or for days without challenging trails.
A pair of smart casual shoes comes in handy for dining out at nicer restaurants or spending evenings in slightly more upscale pubs.
