Hag's Head
Ceann Caillí
The southern tip of the Cliffs of Moher, with a Napoleonic-era signal tower on the headland and sweeping views back along the cliff line, where crowds are thin and the scenery is superb.
Hag's Head marks the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher. A signal tower, the Mohar Tower, was built here in the early 19th century to guard against a possible French landing. Offshore, a rock resembling a seated old woman gives the headland its name. From here, you can look north along the full line of cliffs all the way to O'Brien's Tower, a more complete view than the one from the visitor centre.
You can reach the headland by walking about 2 km from a parking spot near Liscannor, or by following the cliff path about 5.5 km south from the visitor centre. Admission is free. The paths are muddy and have no railings, so keep well back from the cliff edge.
