Hook Head Lighthouse - HDR Photo

Hook Head lighthouse, is the oldest operational lighthouse in the world. It's lighthouse tower, a 13th Century Norman structure, was built by the Earl of Pembroke as part of the development of his Lordship of Leinster. It has served sailors and shipping for 800 years, apart from a short closure during the 17th century. It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. When the Tower of Hook became fully automated in 1996 and no longer needed resident keepers, it was decided to celebrate its uniqueness by opening it to the public.
