Built 800 years ago, Hook lighthouse is the world's oldest operational lighthouse.
It is worth jumping off the bike and taking in the spectacular view from the lighthouses position, with views of the south Irish coastline.

This lighthouse, 25 m high (115 steps to climb), was built at the end of the world in the 13th century, on the site of a fire that had been continuously maintained since the 5th century to guide boats. Below, foaming waves crash against the black schist rocks swept by strong winds.
