The Blow Hole is a natural rock crevice located just below Galley Head Lighthouse. When the sea pushes against the rocks hard enough, air pressure is created that sprays the water through the hole in the ceiling of the fissure, creating an impressive gush of water.
There are several hiking trails in the area that lead to the Blow Hole, most of which are easy to moderate. The hiking trails lead through meadows, over cliffs and along the coast, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding countryside.
The Galley Head Lighthouse itself is also a notable site. It was built in 1878 and was used to warn ships on the Atlantic. Today it is a popular vantage point and a place to experience the rugged beauty of the Irish coast.
It is important to note that the blow hole can be a dangerous spot. One should never get too close to the edge of the cliffs or near the blow hole as the force of the water can be very strong.
