Strumble head Lighthouse

Built in 1908 for the greater safety of sea traffic between Ireland and the new Fishguard Harbour. Strumble Head Lighthouse stands imposingly on Ynysmeicl (St. Michael's Island), an islet to the west of Fishguard, separated from the mainland by a very narrow gap through which the sea boils and froths in stormy weather. There is a small bridge that will get the adrenaline flowing to cross over to the Ireland. The striking white lighthouse, automated since 1980, is a popular landmark.

Seals are often spotted in the coves and bays and there are countless bird colonies, which have made their homes in the rocky cliffs. An old observation post from the Second World War is now a bird observatory for the large numbers of birdwatchers who visit the area.

There is spectacular walking around Strumble Head, with a section of the world famous Coastal Path passing right by the Lighthouse.
