Hook Lighthouse Visitor Centre
Lighthouses have a magic and mysticism of their own, none more so than the 13th Century Hook Lighthouse, Relax by the sea and keep an eye out for seals, dolphins and even whales. Hook lighthouse, is one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the World. Marking the entrance to Waterford Harbour for at least two thousand years. The present structure, the medieval tower of Hook, is about 800 years old – one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. Relax and enjoy a meal in the Lighthouse café or have a leisurely browse in the craft shop. The former keeper’s houses now play host to visitor facilities, while retaining the elegant facades of their late Victorian build. Facilities for the disabled are provided in the visitors centre, but the tower itself by its nature will not be accessible to the disabled.
