Loop Head

Isn’t the name Loop Head intriguing.

Worried about a witch chasing him, a man jumped a chasm and the witch followed . He jumped back and witch fell down the cliff. Originally called Leap Head, eventually it became Loop Head. Loopy story for sure.

Loop Head is a trail from Kilkee, where I am visiting my aunt and uncle, to the furthest point west in Europe reaching way out to the Atlantic.

A working lighthouse signals boats to pass to the Shannon River or out to the Atlantic.

Picture from the lighthouse museum. EIRE you see written on the ground is made up of rocks and was used to signal the Germans and Americans to not bomb here during the Second World War.
