The Wild Atlantic Way tells the story about vertical cliffs, sculpted by wind rocks of bizarre shapes, lighthouses standing as sentries at the edge of the ocean, rolling hillsides clothed in a glorious velvet green, sheep on the wild mountainous terrain, and deserted beaches. It’s like a lover talking about his girlfriend, sharing his joys with whoever wants to listen.
For over 200 hundred years, the lighthouse at the tip of Fanad Head in Co. Donegal has been like the Guardian Angel, standing proudly and helping guide, bringing comfort and sending hope in the darkness of the night.
It’s easy to see why this classic structure – a tall, tapered cylinder crowned by a lamp, has been voted as one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world.
