About

Just outside the car park of the Kilkee Cliffs, lies a sweet memorial to John Holmes who slipped and fell to his death in 2004.  The memorial contains three brass plates with a perfectly crafted ode to John, a loved son, brother, and father

These cliffs have been described as the Cliffs of Moher without the barriers. It’s a beautiful view along the Wild Atlantic Way, a route along Ireland’s western coast with miles of unspoiled land and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The memorial is a sober reminder that the cliffs are indeed very dangerous.

Know Before You Go

There is no need to leave the car park.  The memorial is just outside of it.
