The Cliffs of Moher, also known as "that really foggy place" when we were there. :) When the weather is clear, the place is amazing. I've got postcards to prove it, because when we were there, the cliffs were hidden in either a fog bank or a very low-flying cloud. From the road, you could barely see the visitors' center, and from the VC you sometimes couldn't see the cliffs. We still had to pay to enter, although I propose that on days when you can't see ten feet in front of you, there should be a discount. :)
There's a concrete path along the cliffs (with a fence), and at times you couldn't see past the fence. Occasionally, we'd get a break in the mist and be able to see down to the ocean, but not often. We ended up in the visitors' center with a busload of other tourists, so the place was too packed to really move. Which is why I saw a Celtic-knot necklace, but didn't buy it - I could get to the necklace, but actually paying for it probably would have taken a while. Ah well.
To see what the Cliffs look like in good weather, the official site has a page of E-postcards you can send. It's a lovely place when you can see it. That's one of the pitfalls of traveling in the off season sometimes.
