    Stunning clifftop views and a chance to see nature up close. Keep a careful watch for whales, dolphins, gannets and puffins.

      October 17, 2024

      At Dursey Head, you'll experience the raw power of nature up close. The rugged cliffs drop steeply into the sea as you hike along narrow paths along the coast. From here, you'll have impressive views of the roaring Atlantic waves crashing against the rocks with full force. It's worth stopping every now and then to gaze into the distance. With a bit of luck, you'll spot whales or dolphins gliding through the waves. Gannets and puffins also call this area home, creating a lively atmosphere in the air.

      The hike is not without its challenges, especially when the wind blows off the sea. Sturdy footwear is definitely a plus, as the paths are often rocky and require surefootedness. But the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views – a wildly romantic setting that will surely stay with you for a long time.

      Pack enough provisions, as there are no food purchases along the trail. The tranquility of this remote region offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

      Dursey Head is a place where you can experience nature at its best. Whether it's sunny or stormy, the wild beauty of the Irish coast will definitely accompany you on this hike.
