The Cliffs of Magho are a {{convert|9|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} limestone escarpment located in the townland of Magho, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The NNW-facing cliffs overlook the western reaches of Lower Lough Erne and define the northern edge of Lough Navar Forest, a major plantation managed by the Forest Service of Northern Ireland. A popular viewpoint atop the cliffs is accessed by a forest drive. The escarpment is formed from two distinct bands of Carboniferous limestone: the Glencar Limestone Formation and the overlying Dartry Limestone Formation. These overlie a series of mudrocks known as the Benbulben Shale Formation. Under the cliffs lie a mostly continuous apron of scree and landslipped material. The cliffs are a proposed Area of Special Scientific Interest. They are home to the Irish Rock-bristle (Seligeria oelandica), a black moss found on wet calcareous rocks and known only from this site in the whole of the United Kingdom, though found elsewhere in the Republic of Ireland.[1] Since 2007 these cliffs have formed a part of the Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark.[2] {{wide image|Lower lough erne.jpg|640px|View across Lower Lough Erne from the cliffs, July 2006.}}References1. ^{{cite web |title=Magho Cliffs – Summary |work=Earth Science Conservation Review | publisher=National Museums Northern Ireland |url=http://www.habitas.org.uk/escr/summary.asp?item=186 |accessdate=4 September 2012}} {{County Fermanagh}}{{coord|54.4670|N|7.9065|W|source:wikidata|display=title}}{{Fermanagh-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web| title=Geopark News: The Worlds First International Geopark!| year=2008| publisher=Fermanagh District Council| url=http://www.fermanagh.gov.uk/index.cfm?website_Key=47&Category_key=134&Page_Key=553| accessdate=4 September 2012| deadurl=yes| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615161719/http://www.fermanagh.gov.uk/index.cfm?website_Key=47&Category_key=134&Page_Key=553| archivedate=15 June 2011| df=}} 2 : Landforms of County Fermanagh|Escarpments of the United Kingdom |
