“Embrace the wildness of this beautiful location and take a digital detox from the modern world.” Fanad Lighthouse is an iconic working lighthouse at the mouth of Lough Swilly. It has been voted one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world and it’s easy to see why. Photographers regularly capture stunning, atmospheric images of this evocative structure and the surrounding wild coastline.
The lighthouse was designed by George Halpin, one of the prominent civil engineers of the era. The light was first lit on Saint Patrick’s Day 1817, using sperm oil wick lamps and parabolic reflectors, showing red to the Atlantic and white to Lough Swilly. As working lighthouse and Wild Atlantic Way signature point, this is definitely one for the bucket list.
For a truly unique experience, tour the site for the day and experience one of the finest views on Ireland’s West Coast.
