The story

Story · Mizen Head

You're standing at Mizen Head, Carn Uí Néid in Irish, at the very end of a peninsula in West Cork. Have a look around. Sheer cliffs, crashing waves, and beyond them nothing but ocean. One of the main shipping routes across the Atlantic runs just off this coast. For countless sailors, this rocky point was their first sight of Europe. Or their last.
