Lighthouse of the Week, September 23-29, 2018: Poolbeg, Dublin, Ireland

OK, seriously, you've got to love a lighthouse with the name of Poolbeg, which sounds more like the name of an Irish troll.   Poolbeg Lighthouse is way out on the end of a jetty in Dublin Bay.  The jetty is actually called the Great South Wall and it's 4 km long!   The red Poolbeg Lighthouse is a good visible target for the end of a long walk -- but then you'll have to walk all the way back, too.

I learned all that from this Web page:  Take a Sunday stroll along the Great South Wall Walk

So let's get more technical.

"1820 (station established 1768). Active; focal plane 20 m (66 ft); red light, 8 s on, 4 s off, 4 s on, 4 s off. 20 m (66 ft) round stone tower with lantern and gallery."

The first picture below is from the linked Web page above.

Below are four more.

It's a pretty long walk
