Galley Head
Galley Head Lighthouse rises an imposing 53m above the roaring Atlantic Ocean in the popular tourist haven of West Cork. It is a gleaming white lighthouse that sits at the southernmost point of a picturesque headland known as Dundeady Island and is close to the charming market town of Clonakilty – home of the famous black pudding!
