Sir, – During a few days’stay in Ennis recently, my wife and I decided to visit the Cliffs of Moher. I knew the general direction and assumed it would be well sign-posted when I got near the area. However, all I found was one small sign with an arrow pointing straight ahead towards the village of Doolin. On reaching Doolin I found a similar sign pointing back in the direction I had come. I headed back to the first junction this time parking the car to double check the signs in case I had missed one the first time; but there was definitely no sign for the cliffs.
The road I thought would lead towards the sea had only two signs, one for walkers the other for bikers, so assuming it was unsuitable for cars, I did not take it. I considered asking a local for directions, but then decided that if the people in charge of such a tourist attraction cannot provide proper signage then they do not deserve visitors.
We returned to our hotel without seeing the cliffs, but otherwise had a very enjoyable time in Co Clare. – Yours, etc,
