The most southerly of the two southern tips of the Irish mainland

There are actually two southern tips. One where someone bought the land and now charges people who want to see it. Then there is the real one. The geographic one which goes by the name of Brow Head. That's where we went today.
Walked up to the ruin of a military tower and then over grassland to the quite steep cliffs. Beautiful view of the sea and the cliffs themselves. I stood on the very rim with the raging waves way down below. Very impressive! As the strong wind was pushing me this side and that side I just sat down and let my feet dangle in the air.





We went back past more ruins to the white sands of Barley Cove. You'd never expect such picturesque beaches on Irelands coast. Took a long walk and just enjoyed the wind mussing my hair as the waves came rushing in.



On our way home we stopped at the small village of Schull for an hour of shopping and a pint.
