Mizen Head Signal Station Visitor Centre

Mizen Head Visitor Centre, at Ireland's most south westerly point is an authentic experience. Walk down the cliff path with its 99 steps, across the arched bridge out to the Irish Lights signal station with its spectacular views of the south and west coasts and take a tour round the displays in the former keepers quarters. At the centre there are displays on the theme of safety at sea with a state of the art navigational aids simulator, a 25 ft cutaway model of the Fastnet Rock lighthouse and an automatic weather station.
