    One of our knowledgeable local guides will escort you up the 74 steps of the Lighthouse explaining the history of the building and the lives of the Lighthouse Keepers and their families. You will then go out on the balcony which is 23m above ground level where on a good day you can see views from as far south as the Blasket Islands to the 12 pins of Connemara in the north. If you are very lucky you might see a pod of dolphins or a whale pass. When you return from the Tower you are free to explore the Exhibition Centre, the shop and picnic area and the headland at your leisure.
