2. Best Urban Lighthouse: Great South Wall, Co Dublin
The Great South Wall guards the southern entrance to Dublin Port, and is one of Europe s longest seawalls. It s a surreal experience following the 18th-century causeway into theIrish Sea, almost as if you re walking on water. Moody winter conditions make the journey even more atmospheric. The challenge is to reach Poolbeg Lighthouse,2km away at the end of the wall. This quintessential landmark provides panoramic views of the whole city coastline.
