............... Malin Head ...............

This spectacular headland is Ireland's most northerly point. On clear days the promontory gives distant views of the Scottish Islands, while in stormy weather the seas boil ferociously at its feet.
Its highest point at 362ft is known as Bamba's Crown after one of the pagan queens of pre Christian Ireland. Adventurous walkers can explore the rock formations of 'Hells Hole' and the rock cut cell known as the 'Wee house of Malin'. Monks used to assemble on the shoreline here each year to bathe naked in the sea and wash away their sins.
