Cliffs of Moher progress in 'Seven Wonders' selection

The Cliffs of Moher have made it into the final 77 nominees for selection as the new Seven Wonders of the World.

A panel of experts will consider the nominees on July 21. At seven minutes past midday on that day, the 28 finalists will be revealed at the New7Wonders headquarters in Switzerland. Voting will then resume.

Katherine Webster, Director, Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience, said: "We are incredibly proud that we have made it through to the final 77. We believe the Cliffs of Moher is a special place which truly merits Natural Wonder status and are thrilled that it has been recognised as a serious contender.

"We are also grateful for the nationwide support the cliffs have received throughout this campaign, the entire country will reap the benefits if we win!"
