An easy but stunning cliff walk with just 50m or so climbing. There is plenty of parking in the large car park beside the Diamond Rocks Café just to the west of Kilkee. A tarred trail then leads past the Richard Harris statue up the gentle slope, hugging the coastline.

This can be a little dangerous on windy days and you are advised to stay well clear of the edge. The views are beautiful and actually get better the higher you go as the track weaves its way around several coves, the waves pounding the cliffs below. There are also some marvellous rock formations to investigate.

After about 2km you reach the highest point, about 60m elevation and the views in either direction are wonderful. The trail joins the Dunlicky Road leading back to town, and you could make it a loop by taking that, but most people simply retrace their steps to enjoy to scenery once more. Next to the Cliffs of Moher, probably the best cliff walk in Ireland.
