Lighthouses in Ireland
From Free net encyclopedia
Lighthouses in Ireland is a link page for any lighthouse on the island of Ireland. The Commissioners of Irish Lights are responsible for the majority of marine navigation aids around the island though a small number are maintained by local harbour authorities. The main list identifies those lighthouses in a clockwise direction starting with Crookhaven lighthouse, County Cork.
