South Stack Lighthouse

Many of our attractions are reopening and / or have alternative arrangements for visitor enjoyment and safety. Please contact the attraction below for further details.

South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead.

The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire. You can now experience the Lighthouse Tour having followed the keeper's journey down the 400 steps on to the island and view the fascinating geology of the surrounding cliffs.

Due to variable weather conditions that can restrict access to the island, please telephone or check the website before you visit to avoid disappointment.
