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 12 min drive \- 4.6 miles - Kiln House 5 min drive \- 2.1 miles - Miller's House 5 min drive \- 2.1 miles - Store House 5 min drive \- 2.1 miles - Drumawhey Junction Railway 6 min drive \- 2.3 miles ### Getting around - Holywood Train Station 24 min drive - Belfast (BHD-George Best Belfast City) 43 min drive ### Restaurants - Salt And vinegar 12 min drive - Grace Neills 9 min drive - The Bull & Claw 9 min drive - Domino's Pizza 11 min drive - The Tivoli 10 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Relaxing Retreat on the Stunning Ards Peninsula pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Relaxing Retreat on the Stunning Ards Peninsula? ### What time is check-in at Relaxing Retreat on the Stunning Ards Peninsula? ### What time is check-out at Relaxing Retreat on the Stunning Ards Peninsula? ### Where is Relaxing Retreat on the Stunning Ards Peninsula located? ## Have a question?
