Why Mizen Head matters
Mizen Head is the dramatic southwest tip of the island. Cliffs plunge into the Atlantic, and a footbridge crosses a deep gorge to a signal station. Steps and walkways take you down for waves crashing below. On a clear day, the feeling of being at the end of Europe is hard to beat.
Talking points
- A bridge crosses the sea gorge.
- It is the southwesternmost point of the island.
- Winds can be strong, so dress warmly.
