	Mizen Head in Cork - Ireland Travel Information Guide
		Beyond the town of Ballydehob, the Mizen Peninsula stretches its long finger southward through Schull, an attractive little fishing village, popular with sail boats in the summer, and on through the tiny village of Goleen.
		At the head are the Visitor Centre and Signal Station, which stands on a dramatic promontory battered by the ocean and linked to the mainland by a solid arched bridge.
		The real magic of Mizen Head is the breathtaking scenery of the landscape itself and of course the knowledge that you are at the very southern tip of Ireland, with the vast swell of the Atlantic sprawled out before you.

	Lighthouses@Lighthouse Digest ... The Mizen Vision
		Mizen was a particular case in that it is the most southwesterly point in Ireland.
		Hook Head Lighthouse in Co. Wexford, Ireland's oldest, was manned by monks as early as 452 AD, while the Sisters of the Convent of St. Anne were keepers of the light at Youghal for about 350 years, up to 1542.
		They bring this curiosity to the Mizen and although it is only a "headland station" as distinct from the isolated "island station" or the even more remote "tower station" like its famous neighbor, the Fastnet, visitors manage to capture a real sense of what life must have been like for the early keepers.
