Fair Head is the greatest expanse of climbable rock in Britain or Ireland. It's massive 100m high for much of it's length and forms an impressive bulwark above its extensive boulder fields. It is a place of big skies, big walls and columns and has a compelling somewhat gothic atmosphere. This is softened at either end as the rock sill tapers off into smaller cliffs and the western end in particular has a friendlier sunnier aspect.

The cliff is formed from a sill of dolerite which was cooled in columnar form to produce characteristic cracks and chimneys similar to those of the Giants Causeway. The rock is smooth on the hands, offers great friction and is very sound.
