Killantringan Lighthouse is perched on cliffs in a stunning coastal setting. The lighthouse came into operation in 1900 to guide ships through the North Channel of the Irish Sea. It was automated in 1988 and was fully decommissioned in 2005. The lighthouse, which is a category B listed building, is now in private ownership.
