The tip of Mizen Head is more or less an island, cut off by a deep chasm and spanned by a bridge giving access to an old signal station, weather station and lighthouse. Once manned permanently, the signal station has been transformed into a museum highlighting the peninsula’s important strategic links to transatlantic shipping and communications, including the groundbreaking efforts of Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, known for his work on long-distance radio transmission. The “99 steps” that made up part of the original access route have been improved with a series of paths and viewing platforms and there is a full range of facilities at the entrance to the site. Once you have experienced the wild beauty of the peninsula, projecting out around copper-rich Mount Gabriel, you can head south to explore Ballydehob and Schull, a once-small fishing village turned into a buzzing little resort by the boating fraternity and arts community. Whilst you’re on the peninsula check out Durrus, a well-known gourmet hotspot, the westerly outpost of Crookhaven and beautiful Bantry Bay, one of Ireland’s most attractive inlets. Barleycove, West Cork’s finest beach, is rarely disturbed by big crowds and is a fabulous place for youngsters. Access to its golden sands and safe bathing waters is via a long boardwalk and pontoon that protect the surrounding wetlands. ## Plan a trip to see Mizen Head Price found within the past 48 hours.

(444 reviews) It’s a little bit out of Cork, but a lovely property: both old and new part of the hotel. The best option would be a suite in the 300 year old original building, if you can afford it. But garden view newer rooms also nice!

(677 reviews) The location was great. Hotel was well appointed. Staff was very friendly (especially Maeve). Standard rooms are a tight fit but cute. Sadly, construction blocked the views of the water. Pool was tepid and steam room didn't work. All in all, would stay here again.
