Fair Head is a dramatic headland located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is a popular spot for rock climbing and has stunning views of the North Channel and Rathlin Island. you can also see scotland, so keep an eye out on a clear day, yes, that thing that looks like a close by Island is actually Scotland, wild.

The headland is made up of basalt columns, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. It is a popular spot for bird watching, with many species of seabirds nesting in the cliffs. The area is also home to a variety of wildflowers and plants.

after hiking here, pop to Ursa minor in Ballycastle for food and coffee. or go their first and bring local produce and sourdough for a picnic.
