An Bord Pleanála has given the green light for a new visitor centre at Loop Head Lighthouse.

The proposed development will involve a looped walking trail network, a new carpark along the R487, the conservation of two Keeper’s Cottages, the installation of wayfinding signage, and the upgrade of the existing wastewater system.

The walking trail will feature six designated viewing points around the headland via four looped walking trails ranging from 0.9 kilometres to 4.5 kilometres in length.
