Blacksod Lighthouse

160 years of Blacksod lighthouse this June 30th

Great day at @BlacksodLight yesterday with Udaras and the Inisheer group. Thanks very much to Marie, Fergus & John for your hospitality. #coastalkeeper #mylighthousetrail

A special visit today as Fergus from the lighthouse team welcomed TV legend Timmy Mallett to Blacksod Lighthouse. Timmy’s mother Nancy worked on D-Day weather forecasts & spoke to Maureen Sweeney on June 4, 1944, confirming Blacksod’s vital role in the Normandy landings

A spot of under slinging at @ Blacksod lighthouse today

@lighthousemoji @Lighthouses_NE @lightphotosnet Definitely lots of work but might be fun, going to have a proper look at it today.

@BlacksodLight @Lighthouses_NE @lightphotosnet Looks like a lot of work. Who’s gonna make this happen for all us lighthouse lovers? Rejected 3 times before. 😞

Calling all lighthouse lovers, the campaign for a lighthouse emoji has begun.

@lighthousemoji We only realised this fact last night, simply not good enough.

🌊🪨 There is a sea emoji and a rock emoji, but still no lighthouse emoji.

Irelands only square lighthouse. It was all about the budget. #Blacksod lighthouse #IrishLights @gtlighthouses @MayoNorth

What a view from the light room in one of Irelands great lighthouses, why not come visit us visitblacksodlighthouse.ie #greatlighthousesofireland #Blacksod

On this day 158 years ago the first light was exhibited at our station. Still going strong today.

It is an amazing structure of Irelands southwestern coast.
