Valentia Island Lighthouse

Embrace the rugged and exposed elements of the south west coast and gain an understanding into what life was like for a lightkeeper and their families on Valentia Island. Located in one of the most scenic points on the edge of Europe, Valentia lighthouse is home to the most westerly harbour light on mainland Ireland. This light guides vessels from the sea and leads them through the northern entrance of Valentia Harbour and up past Harbour Rock. As one of the founding members of the ‘Great Lighthouses of Ireland’, Valentia lighthouse is a must-see attraction on The Wild Atlantic Way and Skellig Coast. Explore the 17th century artillery fort located at Cromwell Point while learning the history of the island and its relics in the process. Visit the lighthouse which was built in 1841 and learn about the people and the technology that have guided ships safely home from the sea throughout the years. Soak up the stories and the science, take in the dramatic scenery and experience the breath-taking drama of the beautiful and wild Atlantic Ocean.
