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.

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.

New Ross, a charming town on the River Barrow, exudes history and character. Located in County Wexford, it offers a captivating blend of maritime heritage, cultural significance, and natural beauty. With its medieval roots, New Ross was once a bustling trading center, and that rich history is still palpable in its streets and buildings today. One of the most striking attractions is the impressive Dunbrody Famine Ship, a lifelike replica of a 19th-century emigration vessel. The ship tells the poignant story of thousands of Irish who left their homeland during the Great Famine in search of a better life in America. This emigration history is further enhanced by its connection to the Kennedy family: the ancestors of President John F. Kennedy came from the region, and the Kennedy Homestead Museum brings their story to life. The town itself is brimming with local charm, with cozy pubs, live music, and markets where you can experience Irish hospitality in all its glory. New Ross is not a tourist hotspot in the classic sense, but that is precisely what makes it so attractive: authentic, accessible and steeped in stories.
