Mizen Head

We drove down the first of several peninsulas which characterise this part of southern Ireland to Mizen Head lighthouse.  This is the most southwesterly point in Ireland and is approached by an iron bridge to the visitor centre and signal station high up on the cliffs.



Glorious weather, still no rain, we wild camped half a mile from the lighthouse. The sea is usually wild here but it was an idyllic spot to overnight.

Rosemary had a Shirley Valentine moment sitting on a deserted white sandy beach, at Crookhaven, gazing out over a deep blue sea and dreaming of ........ Perhaps it was the seafood lunch we had at Toormore. It could have been the Caribbean.
