Fair Head

Fair Head or Benmore (from (アイルランド語:an Bhinn Mhór))〔(PlaceNames NI: Fair Head or Benmore )〕 is a rocky headland at the north-eastern corner of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It lies 3 miles (5 km) east of Ballycastle town, and is the closest part of the mainland to Rathlin Island. Geography books have long measured the length of Ireland "from Fair Head to Mizen Head".〔Robert Johnson, ''The Competitive geography'' (1877), p. 170〕 It is a very highly regarded rock-climbing location, and is believed to be the biggest expanse of climbable rock in the British Isles.
==Setting==
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.
Many famous Irish artists have painted Fair Head including Maurice Canning Wilks who painted a watercolour from a nearby beach.
