Mizen Head Signal Station
Georgina Campbell
Mizen Head Signal Station at the end of the Mizen Peninsula is Ireland's most Southwesterly point and is a spellbinding place to visit in all weathers. A ten minute walk to the Signal Station down the famous 99 steps, and over the Arched Bridge amid stunning scenery with the possibility of seeing seals, kittiwakes, gannets and choughs. One of the best places in the world to see Minke, Fin and Humpback Whales and Dolphins.
View the Keepers' Quarters in the former Irish Lights Signal Station; the Engine Room with Marconi Radio Room and The Workman's Quarters with the Mizen Map Collection, Birds, Whales and Dolphins, Wrecks and CIL Boats displays
