Mizen Head Signal Station was cool!

We spent the afternoon walking around Mizen Head Signal Station. It was breathtaking!! Despite the heavy fog that descended on us, the views of the coastline were amazing and I seemed to take a million pictures of them!

If you're interested, there is some history of Mizen Head and it's purpose here: https://www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthou….

But, in short, it was built to save lives off the treacherous rocks at Ireland’s most south-westerly point. 

It is also one of the 15 signature WAW discovery points. Chosen because: "Rugged cliffs rise out of the Atlantic waters at Mizen Head and the echo of the surf lays above the headland. At the western tip stands a rather unspectacular lighthouse, which can only be reached via a bridge. This 52 metre long structure spans a deep rock incision and leads over to the other side at a dizzying height. From Mizen Head you can also see the lighthouse on Fastnet Rock on the southern horizon.

There was lots of walking and none of it was even ground... The little people were pooped by the time we got back 🤣Read more
