| This picturesque fishing village
is situated on the end of the Mizen Peninsula. It
is the most southerly and westerly of all Irish
villages. The village faces into its own almost
land-locked harbour, turning its back on the
great south and southwest gales that sweep this
coast in the winter.
The climate of this southwest peninsula is the
mildest in all of Europe, as this is the first
place the Gulf Stream hits in its great sweep up
from the Carribean.

Snow or hard frost are virtually
unknown and in summer the combination of the
pollution free air, clean seas and ever- changing
vistas of mountain, rock and moorland are
unrivalled. The village has its own
restaurants, bars and best of all friendly local
people who always have time to chat to a
stranger.
