Today’s Doodle pays tribute to the annual commemoration of cultural heritage for Irish people around the world, St. Patrick’s Day. Every year, the Irish come together to celebrate the nation’s history and identity.
Depicted in today’s Doodle artwork is one of the most unmistakable Irish landscapes, the Cliffs of Moher. Situated on Ireland’s west coast, these dramatic limestone cliffs were declared a protected Global Geopark by UNESCO in 2015. From atop the highest point of the area, O’Brien’s Tower, visitors can enjoy some of the best views of the cliffs.
Depending on the day’s mist, the natural beauty that can be seen has inspired numbers of age-old Irish legends: from accounts of mythical cities lost underneath its shores, to a sea witch’s love story that inspired the name of its southernmost point, Hag’s Head.
Whether you’re in awe of the breathtaking scenery of the Cliffs of Moher, or simply wearing a bit of green to show your pride, happy St. Patrick’s Day!
