Fodor's Review:

The Mizen Vision Visitor Centre, which occupies a lighthouse at the tip of the Mizen Head (follow the R591 through Goleen to the end of the road), is the Irish mainland's most southerly point. The lighthouse itself is on a rock at the tip of the headland; to reach it, you must cross a dramatic 99-step suspension footbridge. The lighthouse was completed in 1910; the Engine Room and Keepers' House have been restored by the local community. The exhilaration of massive Atlantic seas swirling 164 feet below the footbridge and the great coastal views guarantee a memorable outing.

Cost: EUR 6
Open: Mid-Mar.-May and Oct., daily 10:30-5; June-Sept., daily 10-6; Nov.-mid-Mar., weekends 11-4
