I’ve seen the Ballycotton Lighthouse numerouse times in real life and on images... I see it everyday at work on package logo but I’ve never noticed it is black until today. And you wont see black lighthouses often.
Built in the late 1840s, Ballycotton Lighthouse sits atop the unspoilt Ballycotton Island, across the bay from the Ballycotton village in East Cork and it is only accessible by boat.
On the island you may meet some of the resident goats, seagulls (we have seen three baby seagulls) and if you are lucky enough you’ll catch a quick hello from #ballycotton #ballycottonisland #ballycottonlighthouse #lighthouse #eastcork #corkireland #ireland #irelandtravel #ireland_insta #ireland_gram #ringofcork #corkdaily #corklike #itscorklike
Thanks to our local chef @darina_allen for mentioning Ballycotton's newest local business @the_trawl_door_ballycotton in her Hot Tips in her weekly Saturday article in @irish_examiner
And calling out some of the other amenities that Ballycotton has to offer; @ballycotton_sea_adventures & The Ballycotton Cliff Walk.
"It’s such a sad day when a little village shop finally closes its doors.
This happened in Ballycotton last autumn, but the good news is it has been re-opened as a charming deli under a new name - The Trawl Door.
Swing by next time you are in the lovely little fishing village of Ballycotton and make time to take a trip out to Ballycotton Island and maybe do the cliff walk"
