This 25-meter-high lighthouse (115 steps to climb) was built at the end of the world in the 13th century, on the site of a fire that had been continuously maintained since the 5th century to guide boats. Below, foaming waves crash against the black schist rocks, swept along by strong winds.

This Cistercian abbey, situated in a valley northeast of the peninsula, was founded in 1200 by the Norman William de Clare. During his first voyage to Ireland, he was caught in a storm and vowed to found an abbey if he survived. Monks inhabited the site until the 16th century, after which the abbey was owned by the Colclough family for almost 400 years. The complex, which offers a highly photogenic view from the fortified bridge, has preserved magnificent remains, including an imposing battlemented tower.

The Port Láirge shipwreck (also known as the "Saltmills Shipwreck") is an iconic remnant of a steam dredger resting in the mud of Bannow Bay, near St. Kearns Quay in County Wexford. On August 26, 1987, the ship sailed under its own power from Waterford to Bannow Bay. It ran aground during a storm or through the shallow waters of the bay near St. Kearns. It has lain there rusting ever since. Today, the wreck is a popular location for photographers and filmmakers because of its dramatic, rusty appearance against the tides.

This charming little port (population 372) has many assets: old thatched houses, beautiful sandy beaches, waters suitable for kayaking, and several welcoming pubs. Few tourists visit this paradise, but it's certainly very welcoming and worth a stop.

Winter break until March – we hadn't been informed of that. The large parking lot was also locked up. Since it was empty enough in the stormy December weather, we were able to pull over and walk along the road for a bit. On this clear winter day, it was an incredible experience; the spray was flying onto the road.

Open from mid-March to early November; the prices Birgit mentioned are still current. We were there in December. You can still walk around the ruins and get a good impression.

Nice coffee stop at the lighthouse.
