Geography Fieldtrip – Liscannor

tmaguire

Earlier this term, our 6th Year Geography students took their classroom learning outdoors for their field investigation along the stunning coastline of Liscannor Bay, Co. Clare. This practical study forms an essential part of the Leaving Certificate Geography course, allowing students to apply key skills in data collection, analysis, and interpretation within a real-world setting. 

The investigation focused on coastal erosion, examining how the sea shapes and alters the landscape over time. Armed with recording sheets, ranging poles, clinometers, and wave count timers, students gathered primary data on wave frequency, cliff profiles, and evidence of erosion along the coastline. The dramatic cliffs and rugged shores of Liscannor Bay provided the perfect natural laboratory for this work. 

Throughout the day, the students showed outstanding enthusiasm and teamwork. They worked closely together, sharing ideas, supporting one another, and ensuring that accurate results were collected. The group’s positive energy and great sense of humour made the trip both enjoyable and memorable. Laughter and teamwork went hand in hand as students balanced serious fieldwork with plenty of fun moments along the way.
