The Cliffs of Moher by the coastal path, and the Dingle alternative

The Cliffs of Moher visitor center charges for parking and is packed with bus tours midday; the coastal path from Doolin village reaches the same cliffs on foot for free, with the Burren's limestone on the way. The Dingle Peninsula's Slea Head Drive offers the same Atlantic drama as the Ring of Kerry on a smaller road with fewer buses; drive it clockwise, as the tour buses do, to avoid meeting them head-on. The Aran Islands by ferry from Doolin are a full, car-free day.
