HOOK LIGHTHOUSE – LIGHT UP YOUR DAY

Lighthouses have a magic and mysticism of their own, none more so than the 13th Century Hook Lighthouse.

One of the top things to do / Day Trips  in Wexford or Waterford!

The present structure is about 800 years old and is the oldest intact operational Lighthouse in the world. Hook Lighthouse offers guided tours of the lighthouse tower all year round and is one of the top things to do Wexford and Waterford.
