Loop head has had a lighthouse since 1670. Originally it was a coal-burning brazier on a platform with a cottage roof. With such a long history the lighthouse is a great window to see the coast from a bygone era.

The Loop Head Lighthouse is a place that breathes history. A lighthouse has stood here since 1670, back then with a coal fire as a signal light. Today you can not only visit the lighthouse itself, but also experience the coast and the sea from a very special perspective. Especially if you are on a racing bike, the route along the cliffs is a real reward for the legs and the eyes. The fresh sea breeze on your face and the impressive panorama of the cliffs make the ride unforgettable.
