HOOK HEAD LIGHTHOUSE, THE OLDEST
OPERATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE IN THE WORLD



Lonely Planet Ireland Guide has listed Hook as one of the top 14 attractions in Ireland
'Ruins peak from its hedges like clues in some cloak and dagger tale'.


The Visitor centre at Hook Lighthouse in county Wexford, Ireland, one of the premier visitor attractions in the south east, offers guided tours of the lighthouse tower, a 13th Century Norman structure, built by the Earl of Pembroke as part of the development of his Lordship of Leinster, culminating with the spectacular view from the balcony, a first class gift shop and café. Relax by the sea and keep an eye out for seals, dolphins and even whales! In clear weather you can see for miles and in a storm the spray often reaches the top of the lighthouse!
