I've heard trails are closed off at the Cliffs of Moher as of December 2025 and it makes it impossible to get close or get good pictures. Was planning to visit in May and wanted to get those dramatic, instagram-able pictures you see online.
If that's not possible anymore, what are other romantic, photogenic nature spots?
The Kerry Cliffs were beautiful as well. Anywhere on the Ring of Kerry and Killarney National Park is not lacking in gorgeous picture opportunities.
Cliffs in Kilkee, 30 mins away from Cliffs of Moher, free and stunning
it does not make it impossible to get 'close' to the cliffs nor impossible to get good pictures.
Go to the Visiotr Center, walk up the paved path, take photos.
It's where 90% of the good photos you've seen have been taken by tourists/visiotrs.
The other 10% have been taken from path walks along the cliff tops that have been closed for almost a year.
I was considering hiring a photographer for a proposal, and my initial concern came from this website
I'm happy to adjust if needed, but clearly can't check beforehand.
I would strongly recommend making the proposal somewhere else.
Huge crowds and not really a spot where you can see the cliffs fully without a barrier/wall.
This website is absolutely correct.
There are no shortage of photogenic places. Not being able to get those photos is a healthy constraint on your creativity. The best response is to seek out other locations. That said, May is some time off and things will likely change by late-spring when the weather is better meaning you may get your original options back.
I appreciate your feedback and optimism! Considering proposing, so obviously want everything to be as ideal as possible.
Not totally true, you can still get a great view and photos from what is open and walkable! If you’ve been before, you’d maybe be disappointed that you can walk as far along the ledge. But if you’ve never been, you’d not really know the difference.
There’s other spots you can go is you’re concerned but I would recommend still going!
I'm on my way there this afternoon, I'll let you know the latest
