A quick history
There has been a lighthouse at Loop Head since 1670. Originally, it was a coal burning brazier on a platform on the roof of the cottage lighthouse where the lightkeeper lived. You can still see part of the old cottage on the site.
The first ‘tower’ lighthouse was built in 1802 and replaced with a new tower in 1854.
In 1869 its light changed from being fixed to flashing.
Its ‘character’ is a white light flashing 4 times every 20 seconds.
The lighthouse converted to electric operation in 1971 and was automated in 1991.

KILBAHA - CLARE
Myself and two of my closest friends went on a little camping adventure on the Clare peninsula a couple of weeks ago! We were lucky enough to get a bit of sunshine when we stopped for lunch in a little village (if you can even call it that) called Kilbaha! So naturally I threw the drone up!
