Malin Head (Irish Cionn Mhálanna) is the northernmost point on the mainland of Ireland and is located in the county Donegal on the peninsula Inishowen. Ten kilometers north is the island of Inishtrahull.

In addition to the remains of a watchtower, which was used as British Admiralty Tower 1805-1909 and served during the Second World War as an observation tower of the Irish Defense Forces, you can admire in huge letters the formerly made of stones word ÉIRE, which during the Second World War the signal to enemy aircraft that they are now flying over neutral territory.

On Malin Head, there is still a weather station that often measures wind force 12 - the highest wind speed ever recorded here was 181.5 km / h on 16 September 1961, when Hurricane Debbie caused major damage on the Irish west coast. This weather station also has a Navtex transmitting station.
