Duncannon Fort Lighthouse

Dating back to the late 1700s, Duncannon Fort Lighthouse stands beside the old coastal fort at the mouth of Waterford Harbour. In 1810, it became one of fourteen coastal lights transferred to the Ballast Board — the predecessor of the Commissioners of Irish Lights — when the board took responsibility for Ireland’s shore lighting. The lighthouse marks the sand bar that stretches from one shore of the river to the other, guiding vessels safely through the harbour entrance.The Fort is only a short walk away from the Blue Moon Gift shop in Duncannon village.
