O'Brien's
Tower marks the highest point of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare,
Ireland, located a short distance from the village Doolin, famous for
its traditional Irish music.The tower was built on the cliffs in 1835
by local landlord Cornellius O'Brien as an observation tower for the
hundreds of Victorian tourists that frequented the cliffs at the
time. On a clear day the view can extend as far as Loop Head at the
southern tip of Clare and beyond to the mountains of Kerry. Looking
north from O'Brien's Tower on clear days, the Twelve Bens in
Connemara (also known as the Twelve Pins) beyond Galway Bay can be
seen, and typically the Aran Islands to the west.
