LIGHTHOUSES

Lighthouses

While lighthouses in Ireland are no longer manned there are few things more romantic than the cylindrical towers which cast their light on the dark and mysterious seas and the stories they harbour of men and women through the centuries, of days and nights, of storms and calm oceans. Tall and round, their distinctively painted exteriors distinguish them from each other and mark their location. They are at least places of interest to most but to some passionate enthusiasts they are revered.
