Unscheduled visitors being turned away from lighthouse 'fail to understand capacity issues'

Hook Lighthouse is the oldest intact operational Lighthouse in the world.

Staff members at an 800-year-old lighthouse have been confronted by 'annoyed' visitors who had not pre-booked a pass and were turned away from the attraction due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Hook Lighthouse in Co Wexford reopened to visitors on June 29 following a temporary closure due to the pandemic.
