Best view of the reconstructed bridge and the surrounding rock formations. You can only get here after entering the visitor center.

This detour below the bridge is recommended, because here you have a great view of the seals, which always show the head below the bridge. ;-)

The hike to Mizen Bridge not only reveals an impressive construction, but also the wild coastal landscape that unfolds before you. The view of the bridge, framed by the rugged rock formations, is particularly tempting to pause for a moment. Access takes you through the visitor center, where you can also experience the history of the former radio station.

The gentle sound of the water under the bridge and the wind that blows almost constantly here give you a feeling of freedom and closeness to nature. The place lives from its wild atmosphere, but be prepared: there is a fee to enter and the walk across the bridge is not for the faint-hearted. The steep cliffs and the height can seem challenging, but the feeling of standing in the midst of these forces of nature makes every step worth it.

The hike itself is easy to do and leads along well-developed paths, and once you are at the top, the view of the roaring sea and the rugged coast rewards you with its raw beauty.
