Muck ‘n’ Muffins is located in Dunfanaghy, a coastal village on the Horn Head peninsula on the shores of picturesque Sheep Haven Bay. Its miles of unspoilt wilderness, sandy beaches, dramatic cliff scenery and secluded harbours all add to the beauty of this region. The town has a lovely nineteenth century pier which in former times made the town a commercial trading centre but encroaching sands have silted the harbour. The shifting sands have also formed a large lake, 'New Lake', which is good for brown trout fishing. The area offers some well marked walks especially around Horn Head and Ards Forest Park to the south east of the town.
