About Pladdy Lug Lighthouse
This cylindrical stone tower, standing 10 meters tall, was constructed in 1926. It features an octagonal base with a stepped pyramidal top and is faced with white-glazed brick. The lighthouse displays a red color. Located on the Pladdy Lug reef in the Irish Sea, it is situated off the coast of Northern Ireland. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port, Kircubbin, is 3.8 kilometers away.
