Ireland Sheep's Head Lighthouse
Being part of the famous 'Wild Atlantic Way' the Sheep's Head Peninsula is home to quite a few incredible places one of them being the Lighthouse which shares it's name with the peninsula. Two trails lead to the lighthouse one of them being an easier one where you come across a beautiful lake and of course some sheeps here and there. At the end of the trails you can climb the stairs to the lighthouse and get rewarded with beautiful views over the ocean and to the Beara Peninsula.
