Erris Head (Irish: ''Ceann Iorrais''〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Placenames Database of Ireland )〕) is a promontory at the northernmost tip of the Mullet Peninsula, located in the barony of Erris in northwest County Mayo, Ireland. It is a well known and recognised landmark used by mariners and weather forecasters alike. It is also a very scenic viewpoint, with an unspoilt view of the Atlantic Ocean and steep rocky cliffs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Discover Ireland )〕 It is not served by any road and can only be reached by crossing a number of fields. ==Special Area of Conservation== Erris Head is a European Union Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Erris Head SAC comprises approximately of cliff plus adjoining habitats. The geology of the region consists of acid rocks, such as quartzite, gneiss and Silurian schists and slates. The sea cliffs are very exposed and subject to very high rainfall. They are of moderate height, reaching a maximum of about in the north-east and are predominantly north-facing. An area of sea, extending from the base of the cliffs, forms part of the site. This is included mainly to provide added protection for the cliff-nesting seabirds. A notable habitat on the site is alpine heath, which occurs inland from the tops of the sea cliffs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=National Parks and Wildlife Service )〕
