About This Tour
After marveling at the scenery of the Loop Head Peninsula on their journey to the Lighthouse visitors will be struck by the quiet, isolation and powerful beauty of our location. They will then be taken on a tour by our knowledgeable, local guides where they will learn about more than 350 years of history and the lives of the Keepers and their families. They will be taken up the tower and out onto the balcony to be inspired by the magnificent views and the forces of nature. Finally they will be left to explore the Exhibition Centre, Picnic Area and Shop at their leisure.
