Take a Tour
Unspoiled and incredibly scenic, it is so worth taking the beautiful road trip from Kilkee out to Loop Head Lighthouse, part of the Wild Atlantic Way which takes you on a leisurely circle around the spectacular scenic coastline of Loop Head.
This drive will bring you to the village of Kilbaha, which as well as being home to the award winning ‘Kilbaha Gallery’, also takes in the ‘Bridges of Ross’ walk and the historic ‘Church of the Little Ark’; two locations highly recommended to visit. It takes in the guided tour to the top of Loop Head Lighthouse and a stunning walk around the headland.
The panoramic views of the ocean, with Kerry to the South and Galway and Mayo to the North, will, quite simply, take your breath away.
