The original lighthouse was painted white. In 1902 three black bands were added. Its current markings of black with two yellow bands have been in place since 1954. The color of the light was changed from white to red on 1st July 1860. The tower was originally only 14m tall. It was extended to its current dizzying height of 40m in the 1880's and is now the tallest onshore lighthouse on the Irish coast. The lighthouse was automated in 1981. St John’s Point is the perfect place for a quick visit or a proper refreshing time out. It is easily accessible by car. #Ireland #travel #adventure #hiking #lighthouse ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182715/6a140fdf-11db-40d3-9a26-892d5b3bd9a9.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Strangford and Lecale 10 min drive \- 9.3 miles - Saintfield Library 6 min drive \- 3.4 miles - Rowallane Garden 6 min drive \- 3.3 miles - Balmoral Golf Club 8 min drive \- 4.8 miles - Rockmount Golf Club 8 min drive \- 6.2 miles ### Getting around - Holywood Train Station 25 min drive - Belfast (BHD-George Best Belfast City) 30 min drive ### Restaurants - Mcdowells Farmview 9 min drive - Sugarcane Coffee Co 9 min drive - Trait Coffee 9 min drive - The Auld House 7 min drive - McDonald's 10 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Country Retreat, one bedroom apartment only 10 miles from Belfast pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Country Retreat, one bedroom apartment only 10 miles from Belfast? ### What time is check-in at Country Retreat, one bedroom apartment only 10 miles from Belfast? ### What time is check-out at Country Retreat, one bedroom apartment only 10 miles from Belfast? ### Where is Country Retreat, one bedroom apartment only 10 miles from Belfast located? ## Have a question?
