Description
Valentia Island lighthouse as seen from the famous old Valentia slate quarry is one of the Great Lighthouses of Ireland. A tour of the lighthouse at Cromwell’s Point is a must if you ever visit the island. Knightstown is the main town and is a few miles from this location.
Valentia Lighthouse at Cromwell Point is maintained by the Commissioners of Irish Lights and is a harbour light to guide vessels from the sea and lead them through the northern entrance of Valentia Harbour past Harbour Rock.
The fossilised footprints of a dinosaur are visible only a short distance from the lighthouse. A Tetrapod (the first four-legged animal with a backbone) stepped from water onto land here over 300 million years ago.
