Malin Head From Above.. Ireland's Most Northerly Point.

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Malin Head is a promontory at the tip of Ireland's Inishowen Peninsula. Part of County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland, it represents the northernmost mainland point of the country as well as the island of Ireland (which is split between the Reublic of Ireland and the UK region of Northern Ireland). It's a beautiful stretch of coastline, albeit one which has represented a grave danger to shipping over the ages. In this drone video by AIrVuz contributor Mark's Mavic 2, you'll get an aerial view of the Malin Head area.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Filmed with my Mavic 2 Pro on a very dull day. Hoped for better weather, but it was not to be. Malin Head on the Inishowen Peninsula, County Donegal, is usually given as the most northerly headland of the mainland of Ireland. In fact, the most northerly point is a headland named Banba’s Crown on the Inishowen Peninsula about 2 km to the northeast. Banba was one of the mythical queens of Ireland. There is a weather station on the head. On the northernmost tip stands a stark cliff-top tower that was built in 1805 by the British admiralty and later used as a Lloyds signal station. Around it are concrete huts that were used by the Irish army in WWII as lookout posts. To the west from the fort-side car park, a path leads to Hell’s Hole, a chasm where the incoming waters crash against the rocky formations. To the east a longer headland walk leads to the Wee House of Malin, a hermit’s cave in the cliff face. Hope you enjoy the video.
