Ballycotton Lighthouse

Ballycotton co. Cork Ireland XIAOMI Mi 4K. Ballycotton Light House Ireland Island Lighthouse Tours is a 'not-for-profit' company that would like to bring you on a magical, historical and unique tour. The Ballycotton Lighthouse lantern was first lit in 1851 and 141 years later the last lighthouse keeper was taken off the island due to the automation of the light. Now, for the first time ever, you can step foot onto the wild, natural and unspoiled island, climb the original iron staircase and enjoy the same incredible views from the lantern balcony that up until now only resident lighthouse keepers could have enjoyed. Our tour begins at the Inn By The Harbour where our local guide will greet you. Our guide will accompany you on your journey to the Ballycotton lighthouse island in our open topped boat and escort you to the island summit and lighthouse whilst regaling you with historic tales as well as information on the flora and fauna of the area. All the time surrounded by stunning views and the fresh Ballycotton sea air.In the event of adverse weather conditions preventing us from docking at the lighthouse island, we will provide a guided boat tour to the island. However, we reserve the right to cancel sailings if necessary.There are 70 lighthouses around the coast of Ireland operated by the Commissioners of Irish Lights. All of them continue to play a vital role in maritime safety today. Explore the other Great Lighthouses of Ireland at www.greatlighthouses.com  Ballycotton Lighthouse - the best aerial videos
