Malin Head to Hells Hole and Beyond
Birds eye view of Malin Head to hells hole and beyond.
Located at N55.22.861 W007.22.420 at a height of 187 feet (57m) above sea
level. Malin Head (In Irish: Cionn Mhálanna) at the tip of the Inishowen
peninsular in County Donegal is the most northern point of Ireland that has
a rugged landscape and had a long history of communication with ships.
The head's rocky, weather-battered slopes feel like they're being dragged
unwillingly into the sea. It's great for wandering on foot, absorbing the
stark natural setting. The area is renowned for the welcoming of the
friendly local people, epic coastal scenery, marine life, thriving birdlife
, rock climbing and plenty of historical significance. The viewing platform
with its talking telescope will give you close up views of the surrounding
area. Malin
