    Blackhead Lighthouse was built and first switched on in 1902. The lighthouse also had an explosive fog signal when it first began operating.

    The lighthouse would have guided many famous vessels throughout Belfasts golden era of shipping, including the Titanic.

    Black Head is the most northerly point of County Clare. At the top you will find the small Black Head lighthouse. While it might not be the most impressive lighthouse in Ireland, it is surrounded by breathtaking beauty. The R477 hugs the rocky coastline and is a real treat for the eyes.
