The Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail, a key attraction in Co Clare, is expected to be partially closed during the 2025 tourist season due to safety concerns raised by a Sport Ireland inspection.
Clare County Council is exploring a free shuttle bus service aimed to connect tourists from nearby towns to the Cliffs of Moher, with hopes to improve local business while discussions on trail safety and repairs continue.
Eoin Hogan from Clare Local Development Company stated that the trail will require serious construction work to address issues related to its proximity to cliff edges before a full reopening can occur.
CLDC, Sport Ireland, Clare County Council, Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Community and Rural Development all have input into development of the trail.
Eoin Hogan shared: “The best case is that that the northern section trail opens. You will be open to walk from the Cliffs of Moher visitor centre to Doolin, or from Doolin to the centre. The southern section of the trail from the Centre to Hag’s Head will definitely not be open in 2025.”
