Loop Head Lighthouse and Cliffs

Highlight • Monument

Park your car at Loop Head Lighthouse and enjoy the panoramic view. On a nice day you can see as far as the Cliffs of Moher. The sight of the rugged cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean crashing incessantly and with great force against the coast here make Loop Head one of the most beautiful places in all of Ireland. Incidentally, the Irish Times saw it the same way in 2013 and named the place the "Best Place to Holiday in Ireland".
Even though Loop Head is remote, it's still worth a visit, if not for that very reason.

Bridges of Ross

Highlight • Natural Monument

At first a rather inconspicuous promenade in the parking lot, but soon the view of the gigantic rock arch and rampart rock strata opens up, which protrude far into the Atlantic Ocean. Until a hundred years ago, there were two of these arches; There should have been at least three and others could emerge, according to the information board there in a few hundred years. "Brave ones" run over the bow, but you can also be just as good and admire this natural wonder.
