Fair Head.

Fair Head is located some 3 miles (5 km) east of the town of Ballycastle, it is highly regarded among the climbing fraternity, it rises to over 100 m (328 ft) above the sea level, viewwd from the top you tend to not get too near the edge.

Drive out of Ballycastle on the Cushendall road and continue until you come to a small town called Ballyvoy. As you approach Hunter's Pub, take the turn-off on the left before the pub and continue out the country road. Further out the road, you should pass a terrace bungalows - just past these you should see a sign pointing off to the left toward Fair Head Car Park. Follow the narrow road to the very end, where you should see a cluster of old rural cottages. Turn right into a small carpark opposite the cottage on the right.

The headland of Fair Head rises 196m above the sea. Wild goats can be seen roaming among the rocks beneath the clifftops, where a walkway called The Grey Man's Path winds around the rugged coastline. From the road, a manmade Iron Age island or crannóg can be seen in the middle of a lake, Lough na Cranagh. The lakes are stocked with trout and can be fished during the summer months. Much of the land at Fair Head is owned by the National Trust, so ensuring that its natural beauty is preserved.

The cliffs are composed of dolerite, giving a mixture of steep cracked walls, corners, and, in many places, sets of columns reminiscent of organ-pipes. The dolerite sits on top of a bed of chalk which is visible in places.

The cliffs abound in well-protected steep crack climbing, between one and four pitches long. Many of the cracks involve hand-jamming, so some climbers tape their hands to protect the skin from what they term "Fair Head rash". Other climbs involve off-width or full-width chimneying, which is not often encountered in other Irish crags.
