Fair Head is a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) long, 200-metre (660 ft) high, mountain cliff, close to the sea, at the north-eastern corner of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The cliff's sheer and vertical 100-metre (330 ft) high dolerite rock face is shaped into distinctive vertical columns like organ pipes, which formed 60 million years ago when a sill of igneous rock was injected between horizontal Carboniferous sediments.
Visit Fair Head to take in the stunning coastal scenery it offers. From its vantage point, you can enjoy panoramic views of the North Channel, Rathlin Island, and on a clear day, even the distant Scottish coast. The dramatic cliffs and sparkling waters make for a truly unforgettable sight.
For adventure enthusiasts, Fair Head is a paradise for outdoor activities. Its sheer cliffs make it an ideal spot for rock climbing, with numerous routes catering to climbers of all skill levels. Hikers and walkers can also explore the Fair Head Walk, a 5-mile loop trail that takes you along the cliff's edge and through the surrounding countryside, offering incredible vistas along the way.
If you're interested in delving deeper into the history and geology of Fair Head, consider joining a guided tour. Local experts will share fascinating insights into the area's unique geological formations, as well as stories and legends associated with the cliffs.
