Tory Island Lighthouse

The Tory Island Lighthouse was built in 1832 and it was requested that a lighthouse be put on the island by the Harbour Commissioners and Merchants of Sligo. The tower is 27m high and the light is 40m above sea level. It was converted to automatic operation in 1990.

The Lighthouse prominently stands on the western tip of the island and can be reached from West Town by walking along the Tory island way.
