Loop Head Lightkeepers House, Co.Clare
Loop Head Lighthouse station is the major landmark on the northern shore of
the Shannon River. The surrounding coastline is of a dramatic character with
cliffs sculpted by Atlantic storms where rock ledges and caves are home to
seabirds, seals and other maritime animals. The lighthouse complex is built
on a clifftop with 300o views of the sea, down to Kerry Head and Dingle,
across the Shannon, and up the Clare coast to the Cliffs of Moher to the
north.
The peninsula has always been used as a look out - there are numerous pre-christian forts along the coast, and today it is still an outstanding look-out spot for dolphins, whales and seabirds.
