Fanad Lighthouse is one of the Great Lighthouses of Ireland, an all-Ireland tourism initiative developed by the Commissioners of Irish Lights.
Great Lighthouses of Ireland
We are in great company
All of these great lighthouses are open to the public for tours, accommodation, or like Fanad Lighthouse – both! Every year in May, Great Lighthouses of Ireland kicks off the tourist season with the Shine a Light on Summer Festival. Well worth a visit.
The Great Lighthouses of Ireland project is supported by the European Union’s INTERREG IVA cross-border Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. Why not make it your mission to visit all of the lighthouses on the Great Lighthouses of Ireland trail?!

‘Great Lighthouses of Ireland’ is an innovative tourism initiative developed by the Commissioners of Irish Lights to open these remarkable buildings around the Irish coast to the public and breath new life into their communities. Each one has amazing stories and a unique identity, and, as a collective, they offer unparalled visitor experiences in some of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.
