Malin Head

Malin Head is the northernmost headland of the Inishowen Peninsula of County Donegal, and the northernmost point of the whole island of Ireland. The very northernmost tip of Malin Head is the headland named Banba's Crown. Only the island of Inishtrahull and the Tor Beg Rock lies further north in the Irish Republic.
