Picture: The Pepperpot

St. Catherine's Oratory

Short Summary created by Fergalh 19 Oct 2020

At the top of the hill is St. Catherine's Oratory (known locally as the pepperpot"), which is a stone lighthouse built in the 14th century by Walter De Godeton. It is the second oldest, and only surviving, medieval lighthouse in the British Islands: only the Roman lighthouse at Dover is older. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B5440/comment/11795/

Picture: Sign and Oratory

Short and steep but worth the climb

by Fergalh 19 Oct 2020

From Car park to south a short but steep climb up to the Oratory at the top Impressive views of the island normally but was misty when I was here unfortunately. Very impressive building in the mist when climbing, this is the southern most point of the island. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B5440/comment/20996/
