Főbb látnivalók: Visitors can climb the narrow spiral staircase to the lantern room and enjoy panoramic views spanning from the Cliffs of Moher to the Aran Islands. On clear days, the sound of Atlantic waves crashing against the cliffs creates an unforgettable sensory experience while spotting nesting seabirds nearby.
