Ireland Baily Lighthouse on Howth Head, Dublin
There are 2 lighthouses in Howth one at the harbour about 5 mins drive from this spot. This is a much older lighthouse and was moved to this site in 1814.
Photography Tips
There are a number of places to capture the Lighthouse one close to the Summit car park as you start down the path. Once you are on the path you start descending and then you need good footwear and long pants as the low blackberry bushes are quite spiky. The closer you get to the edge of the cliff the more of the rocks and surf at the bottom of the cliff you can capture. A good head torch to get there before dawn and be careful need the edge of the cliff.
