Lighthouses · Cork
Not a lighthouse in the conventional tower form, but one of Ireland’s finest maritime signal-station experiences, reached across an arched bridge above the Atlantic.
Why it belongs on the list
Mizen Head’s signal station tells the story of ships, communications and rescue at Ireland’s south-western edge, in a spectacular cliff setting above the Atlantic.
This is a signal station rather than a lighthouse tower. Check opening hours and allow for exposed weather and uneven access.
Plan the visit
Road access to the Mizen Head visitor centre, followed by steep paths, steps and the arched bridge.
