... it was a magnificent sight with the Atlantic Ocean spreading out beyond the bay ...
Mizen Head, the most south-westerly point in Ireland, is linked to the mainland with a arched pedestrian bridge which spans a deep gully ...
... walking from the car park to the Signal Station and peering down the cliff face to the sea ... way, way below !
A spectacular view from the arched bridge...
... and another awesome view from the Signal Station ...
There used to be a manned lighthouse, The Fastnet Lighthouse, on top of this building, the building of which was completed in 1904. The Lighthouse is no longer there but the Signal Station is still operational

Looking back to the pathway, arched bridge and visitor's centre (the small building on the right)
Inside the building of the Signal Station is where the Lighthouse Keeper lived ... a lonely life, I would imagine !!
.... with the only means of communication ....!
