Devil's Bridge, Malin Head

Natural rock arch

What is recorded here

Devil's Bridge is a natural rock arch near Hell's Hole on the Malin Head coast of County Donegal. Discover Ireland places the arch along a circuit of Malin Head's cliffs, beyond Banba's Crown, and describes Hell's Hole as a sea cavern where the tide rushes in. This marked place is the arch, not the whole headland or the nearby cavern. The saved map point comes from a local climbing guide's grid reference, while the national visitor guide names the feature. Cliff edges and changing weather require care; the account gives no promise of a marked path to the arch.

From Colmcille Climbers, Malin Head West End C383 590

The rock arch is in exposed cliff country. Some routes beyond the public Malin Head path cross private ground. Follow current signs, do not cross a closed boundary and keep back from cliff edges.
