Tory Isand (Part 3)

On Monday, when I started this 2 week series of Tory Island (Part 1), i mentioned I would show you more photographs of the Lighthouse and today that is what I am doing.  Chris adn I were very fortunate to go inside the gate and that was becasue the 6 men that came over in the boat were sent to fix the light.  These are shots taken as we walked round the enormous site.  No more words needed, just enjoy.






Helipad

Thank you for visiting and also to those who leave comments.

  1. Oooooh.
    There is a romance and a beauty to lighthouses that I think few other structures can claim.
    Jealous thoughts - and thank you.

  6. I've always had such an interest in lighthouses!! This one is beautiful. Sadly, our lighthouses in America are just a 'thing of the past'....most aren't used as intended any longer what with the onset of computers these days.

    Wonderful photos.

  7. That is a big place. Is that lighthouse fully automated or does someone still live there?

  9. Your pictures remind me of the lighthouse on Bardsey Island a bird observatory in North Wales. The "island life" is so appealing isn't it Margaret?

  18. Beautiful shots of the lighthouse, and nice view as well! I like your shots of the stonework and of the helipad...and now...I'm thinking of that Nancy Drew episode I watched once about a lighthouse! This one doesn't look nearly as scary though! It looks like a lovely place to visit.
