The Mizen Head Visitor Centre is the starting point for a visit to Ireland's southwesternmost point in County Cork. This award-winning maritime centre offers access to a spectacular route across the famous arch bridge to the historic signal station on the cliffs.

The CIL have two buildings – one is a mess hut and the other contains the computer equipment which monitors the functions of the signal station. The information is monitored by computer in the CIL Dun Laoghaire office. Before the green safety wire was added, the red pipes used to form the fencing carrying water and oil from the tanks.
