LIGHT UP YOUR DAY
HOOK LIGHTHOUSE, ONE OF THE OLDEST OPERATIONAL LIGHTHOUSES IN THE WORLD
Marking the entrance to Waterford Harbour at the mouth of the Three Sisters River system for over 800 years. The visitor centre at Hook Lighthouse offers guided tours of the lighthouse tower, a 13th Century Norman structure, built by the Earl of Pembroke as part of the development of his Lordship of Leinster.
Purpose built as a lighthouse 800 years ago and still fully operational today, Hook Lighthouse truly is one of a kind!
Your Tour Guide will take you through the lighthouse with fascinating insights, stories and facts of this unique building. The tour culminates with the spectacular view from the balcony.
The Visitor Centre is located in the former keepers houses where there is a first class gift shop and cafe; our friendly staff are happy to help with any tourist information you require.
Relax by the sea and keep an eye out for seals, dolphins and even whales! In clear weather you can see for miles and in a storm the spray often reaches the top of the lighthouse!
Guided tours available all year round (may be restricted during dangerous weather conditions and maintenance requirements).
Closed 18th - 25th December inclusive.
