The history of the word 'hiraeth' refers specifically to the time before Wales was colonized by England, not knowing what it was like (because the English colonization meant that little remained in the way of records) but yearning for it regardless of the likely hardship that was faced. So it doesn't apply here, but that's about as close a word as we're going to get! :O

The cliff in question is the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland. It's a very popular tourist destination. But there is a bit of a problem. The Cliffs of Moher are actually a series of 20 foot high limestone stacks, not a true cliff. But for hundreds of years, the story of the Cliffs of Moher has been that it's a cliff."
