Wexford Hook Lighthouse

Hook Head Lighthouse, built in 1172, is recognized as the world’s oldest operational lighthouse. Standing on the Hook Peninsula in County Wexford, it has guided ships into Waterford Harbour for over 800 years. Originally maintained by monks until 1641, this historic tower remains a major draw for visitors, offering a glimpse into Ireland’s ancient maritime traditions. Fully automated since 1996, Hook Head is a living relic of Ireland’s coastal legacy.
