Tips

Beyond the Horizon

April 15, 2022

My first visit to Loop Head Lighthouse was marked by an intensive encounter with the autumn weather on the Atlantic 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 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.
