Explorer Tom Inishtrahull Lighthouse is standing tall as the northernmost light in Ireland, designed by A. D. H. Martin. It’s slender, robust, and has been guiding ships with a twenty-nautical-mile range since the twentieth century. Wave at it from across to Malin and tell it Tom appreciates its job!

Explorer Tom Inishtrahull got a lighthouse in 1812 to help ships using Lough Foyle. I would love to see the lamp from Ireland's most northerly island, but the island is generally inaccessible. This is one for imagining a wave from the mainland, not planning a landing.

Explorer Tom Inishtrahull Lighthouse was designed by George Halpin, a real legend who built lights all over Ireland. The keeper's house is right there too, probably still smells like fish and solitude. Keep an eye out for maritime heritage that actually shines in the dark!
