The environs of Benwee Head, with its cliffs, arches, stacks and islands, offers some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Ireland, with which perhaps only SW Donegal and Co. Clare can compete. To appreciate them fully, you need to see them from the sea. Benwee Head is in the townland of Kilgalligan, which has been studied in detail in The Living Landscape: Kilgalligan, Erris, Co. Mayo by Seamas O Cathain & Patrick O'Flanagan.
An Bhinn Bhuí is the 1265th highest place in Ireland. An Bhinn Bhuí is the second most northerly summit in the North Mayo area. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/996/?PHPSESSID=uctud8456gur3o8gam5903m0g7
