Loop Head Lighthouse

Loop Head Lighthouse is now closed for the 2025 season. Thank you for all your support this year! We look forward to reopening in March 2026. #closedfortheseason #mylighthousetrail #greatlighthousesofireland

Great to see 2 retired keepers at the conference & both still very active with lighthouses. Eddie @ @BCSeaAdventures & Gerard @ Galley Head Lighthouse while also being the President of @alklighthouse .Both helping to keep the heritage of our Lighthouses alive!#GreatLighthouses10

🎥 Tourism Ireland was delighted to share with French news broadcasters the beauty and appeal of lighthouses around Ireland. Thanks to our partners also at @gtlighthouses.

It's amazing to think that the #greatlighthousesofireland brand is only 10 years old when you look at the amazing impact visitors to the Lighthouses or on a boat around them have had on the local and national economy. #GreatLighthouses10 #mylighthousetrail #coastalkeepers

Session 4 of this years conference will discuss more matters that are extremely close to our partners hearts and also to their businesses - Heritage, Climate & Conservation – Balancing Protection and Access. #GreatLighthouses10 #CoastalKeepers #MyLighthouseTrail
