Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

great experience and breathtaking landscape, better than Moher Cliffs. Easy access from Kilkee, just follow the signs for scenic route. a few kilometers worth a trip to Ireland's west coast

We visited this walk when the wind coming off the Atlantic was 45mph … which made the hike up to the top very interesting. There’s a good tarmac path all the way along the cliff edge walk and a rail on the steepest bit. There are also periodic seats.
The views along the cliff face are stunning, as is the view back down into the horseshoe bay to Kilkee. But be careful on windy days as the strength of the gusty wind can catch you unawares.

The view is absolutely breathtaking! Did not want to go out of there. We were on the car trip with friends and had several stops on the cliffs in different places according to view points in Google maps. Recommend to visit!

We did this wal the same day as the Cliffs of Moher and was just as stunning. Park at Pollock Holes where there is a café and a large car park (free I think) and walk to the top of the cliffs. Its all paved so good for buggies or wheelchairs. Great views and you can even walk down to the sea on a good day. We didn't have time to do the whole thing but certainly was worth the stopover.

We were fogged out of seeing the Cliffs of Moher, so I had this down as a backup plan and it did not disappoint. Its a nice walk and the views are great!

This was recommended by our hosts at a B and B in Limerick.
I am so glad we took their advice!
The views are spectacular, and the walk is easy. What I really like is it isn't all touristy and loaded with people like the Cliffs of Moher, this is truly a secret gem.

Absolutely beautiful spot, not just where the cliff walk starts, you can drive for another few miles and witness some fantastic scenery! Every bit as nice as the cliffs of Moher but just not as well known. No amenities out there, so that's a pity, but well worth a visit!

Starting at the Diamond Rocks cafe there are a number of marked trails that take you around
the cliffs.
The walk is not overly strenuous and has some great views. There are also some benches along the way if you want to stop for a break or simply to admire the views.

Make sure you do at least one of the Kilkee cliff walks if you are in the area. We had visited the Cliffs of Moher a few days previously and we agreed that this was a superior experience. The views are breathtaking and we got some fantastic photos at the top. Take care with small children. The walkway is safe once you stay on the path but just make sure young children don’t run on too far ahead or stray off the path. We did the walk on the golf course side of Kilkee and look forward to returning to try the one on the other side.

Did you hire a local person for the geology walk?

Is it safe for a four year old, generally how long does it take?

Hi the path is well away from the cliff's edge, but there is no fencing, so a small child would need to be very well supervised. We walked up to the top, taking it slowly and it took about 30 minutes, but some would do it much quicker. It's really stunning. Enjoy your holiday!
