Very distant view of the light at Cleggan Point. I had secretly hoped we might have had the time to take the ferry to Inishbofin (where we'd pass much closer to this light and also get to see the Inishbofin Light too) but a combination of a strong wind and an incredulous expression on my wife's face soon put that one to bed.This was taken somewhere to the west of Cleggan (there is no road to the headland itself) Don't ask me where. The roads are merely joined up pot-holes and completely unsignposted. I was keeping an eye out for it and got lucky in about a hundred yard stretch above the village.
Basically, its another white concrete box lighthouse, what my wife would call "not a proper" lighthouse.
Nice to see some new posts from you, glad you are getting out to some lights. Cheers, Neal
ReplyDeleteI can let you have some much more detailed photos as we walked out to the point today. The lighthouse was built by my grandfather John O'Toole, his cousin Tom King and J.Lynch on 22nd August 1961.
