Valentia Island
Valentia Island
Established in 1841, Valentia Island lighthouse stands on Cromwell Point, guiding vessels safely through the northern entrance of Valentia Harbour. The lighthouse was built on the site of a 16th-century fort, and its remote location offers views of Skellig Michael and the Blasket Islands on clear days. Fully automated since 1947, it continues to be a vital marker for ships along the Kerry coast.
