Excellent venue and everyone loved it , hidden gem If you don’t want to walk you can drive to another car park and the views from there are amazing. If you want to walk further you can walk on up the mountain which is well worth the effort. Plenty of photo opportunities.

Amazing views from here.It is well worth the short drive from Dunfanahy to see this natural attraction. The views in all directions are amazing. The road to the head is very narrow in places and there is not much parking when you get to the top.

Visited gola for the first time this year, although we live locally, we never got around to making the trip. The ferry left hourly which was great as we had young family with us and we could stay as long or as short as suited us. The ferryman was more than helpful, loading and unloading a pram with a child in it and giving us all a helping hand on and off the ferry. The island itself is lovely and anyone we met were polite and pleasant. It's a day trip I will remember for a long time!

Malin Head is the most northerly point in Ireland & boasts fabulous views in all directions - & if you're lucky even the Northern Lights can be seen at a certain time of the year! There are pathways which lead to different points on the head & we're happy to say new public toilets have been erected since our last visit here. Malin Head is a must see when in the area!
