Mizen Head

Service Description

Perched on the edge of the north east Atlantic, Mizen Head is one of the most spectacular headlands on Ireland's Atlantic seaboard. Standing on Mizen, surrounded by the pounding waves, it's impossible not to feel humbled by the raw power of nature. Yet Mizen's natural grandeur is only a part of what makes your visit to this iconic headland special. Here you'll also find an abundance of history, and an intriguing human story. Mizen's strategic geography made it a significant site for transatlantic shipping and communication, and afforded many an Irish emigrant their final glimpse of home as they departed for a new life half a world away. That story is eloquently told through the many high-quality exhibits and displays at Mizen Head Visitor Centre and Mizen Head Signal Station.
