What to expect

Horn Head is a peninsula in County Donegal, Ireland, offering stunning cliff and ocean views. The cliffs rise straight out of the water to a height of about 600 ft/180 m on the ocean side of the peninsula and are an internationally important colony for breeding seabirds. The area is also home to many remains of Neolithic stone circles, court tombs, passage tombs, and prehistoric field boundaries. Visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, or driving along the coast, taking in the breathtaking panorama over the cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean. The spot is also great for observing the night sky, including the Northern Lights.
