Park your car at Loop Head Lighthouse and enjoy the panoramic view. On a nice day you can see as far as the Cliffs of Moher. The sight of the rugged cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean crashing incessantly and with great force against the coast here make Loop Head one of the most beautiful places in all of Ireland. Incidentally, the Irish Times saw it the same way in 2013 and named the place the "Best Place to Holiday in Ireland".

Even though Loop Head is remote, it's still worth a visit, if not for that very reason.

A place to stay with a wonderful panorama. The lighthouse located there can be visited. We recommend a walk along the steep coast.

It was stormy, so stormy that I could hardly stand. The wind also came in gusts, which didn't make walking and standing any easier.

I braced myself against the wind, I stumbled, I ran backwards, raindrops lashed my face.

Nevertheless, or perhaps because of this, this lighthouse and the dramatic cliffs on which it stands have become a place that has left a lasting impression on me and has helped shape my image of Ireland.

By the way, the lighthouse can be visited from April to October.

When it's not that windy, it's worth taking a walk around the lighthouse.

Here you have a great and sometimes spectacular view of a fantastically beautiful coastal landscape and the impressive cliffs at close range.

But be careful, there is no barrier here.
