Fair Head

Fair Head (Irish: an Bhinn Mhór) is a rocky headland at the north-eastern corner of Northern Ireland, in County Antrim. It lies 3 miles (5 km) east of Ballycastle town, and is the closest part of the mainland to Rathlin Island. It is a very highly-regarded rock-climbing location, and is believed to be the biggest expanse of climbable rock in either Ireland or Britain.

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or head:

    When I was fair and young, and favor graced me,
    Of many was I sought, their mistress for to be;
    But I did scorn them all, and answered them therefore,
    “Go, go, go seek some otherwhere!
    Importune me no more!”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    Therefore with idle hands and head I sit
    In late December before the fire’s daze
    Punished by crimes of which I would be quit.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
