Mizen Head

During our travels on this fine and sunny Thursday, 26 July, we visited Mizen Head arguably (but acknowledged) the most southern point of Ireland. It was a bit of a whim to go there but wow it exceeded our expectations by some measure. Once an old pilot station and lighthouse it is now a tourist attraction of breathtaking scenery and maritime history.
The adjacent Fastnet Rock and its lighthouse provide a turning point for the bi-annual Fastnet Yacht Race, a race of international significance attracting over 300 entries every 2 years and responsible for many yachting tragedies over the years.
The attached photos display the scenic beauty, and Roberta, of the site and the walks provided our daily exercise to boot.
