The Malin Head Circular Walk is a 4.5 km loop with loads of rugged beauty at Ireland’s northernmost point. The trail takes you along dramatic sea cliffs with expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a must-do when you’re in County Donegal.
Starting at the small car park, you’ll pass historic and natural highlights, such as the large stone “Eire” sign. This was used during WWII to mark Ireland’s neutrality. When you walk further, you’ll encounter Hell’s Hole. You’ll be amazed by this impressive 30-meter deep chasm carved by the ocean’s force. A unique geological location. Mailin Head is also the beginning or the end of the incredible Wild Atlantic Way. Find out more about this scenic coastal drive with many hikes along the way on our Wild Atlantic Way page.
