Hiking
Here you are at the northernmost tip of Ireland - the ideal point to start a long-distance hike or to drive the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of the island. The scenery also has the appropriate drama ready: steep cliffs, rocks tossed by waves, screeching seabirds.

Malin Head is the northernmost tip of Ireland and a great place to start or finish the Wild Atlantic Way. From here you can see EIRE marked out on the headland in stones. It was constructed during World War Two so pilots knew they were flying over neutral land.

Hiking
The hike itself is only interesting around Lloyds Signal Tower-Malin Head, as most of the wall is on roads within the island and there is no coastal access. In addition, almost all coastal sections are inaccessible, widely fenced off and marked as private property.
