About
Snabba fakta: Jagged limestone cliffs plunge into roaring Atlantic surf, with a ruined watchtower perched where the rock juts out like a ship's prow. You'll often catch the salty tang of the sea and the sharp sweetness of wild grasses, and seabird colonies nearby can number over 20,000 pairs.
Höjdpunkter: Old local legend says a hag leapt from the headland, and the line of craggy rock has an uncanny profile that many swear looks like a crouching woman. Golden light floods the west-facing curve for roughly 20 minutes each evening, and standing where the gulls ride the thermals you can feel the wind press against your ribs like a drumbeat, a moment photographers and storytellers linger for.
Insider tips
- Wear a windproof jacket, warm layers, and sturdy shoes; paths can be slippery and winds strong.
- Arrive before 10:00 or after 16:00 to avoid coach crowds and get quieter photos.
- Walk the cliff-top trail north for the best sweeping view of the main cliff line and O'Brien's Tower in the distance.
- Skip the Visitor Centre if you only want Hag's Head; parking there costs extra and the headland is accessible on foot.
