Mizen Head - The Edge of Ireland, West Cork, 4K

MIZEN HEAD is one of my favourites places in the Green Country, Ireland's most southwesterly point on the Wild Atlantic Way. 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. Mizen Head, is located at the extremity of the Mizen Peninsula in County Cork, in southwest Ireland. It is one of the extreme points of the island of Ireland and is a major tourist attraction, noted for its dramatic cliff scenery. One of the main transatlantic shipping routes passes close by to the south, and Mizen Head was, for many seafarers, the first (or last) sight of Europe. The tip of the peninsula is almost an island, cut off by a deep chasm, now spanned by a bridge; this gives access to an old signal station, a weather station, and a lighthouse. The signal station, once permanently manned, is now a museum housing displays relating to the site's strategic significance for transatlantic shipping and communications, including the pioneering efforts of Guglielmo Marconi. The "99 steps" which formed part of the original access route have been supplemented by a series of paths and viewing platforms, and a full range of visitor facilities is available at the entrance to the site. The villages of Ballydehob, Crookhaven, Goleen, and Schull are located on the peninsula to the east. To the west, you can see Fastnet Rock topped by a lighthouse. For many Irish, this is a special place. It is known as Ireland's Tear. The reason for this name: it was the last thing Irish emigrants saw when they left their beloved Ireland behind on their way abroad.
