The Lighthouse at Loop Head, Co Clare
Carrigaholt castle at the loop head peninsula is absolutely off the map - and not really accessible for visitors. One of the many examples of the random things you can find when driving around Ireland that are in no tourist guide and on no map - not even Google's :)
You might spot dolphins wandering around Loop Head (as we actually did that day) - but watch your step, as it's even easier to drop off into the Atlantic!
