A day trip to visit Blacksod, Broadhaven and the viewing points of the offshore lighthouses of Blackrock and Eagle Island is a scenic and beautiful drive. It takes you from the rocky headlands of the north to the sandy shores of the south Mullet Peninsula. From herds of cattle grazing on the grassy machair hills, the rich abundant flora of the area and the silver sandy beaches which stretch on forever, Erris has everything you need to relax, unwind and reconnect with nature.

Alternately, from Alt. Bunahowen in Glencastle village, all four lighthouse lights are often visible on a clear night. Reliably shining their unique blinking sequence, known as a ‘show’, and guiding sea vessels to a safe harbour, our lighthouses will protect our remotest coastal communities for generations to come.
