history dates back to the 12th century; beacon operation in the area dates back as far as the 5th century.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Part of Ireland\u2019s Ancient East, Hook Lighthouse is situated in the South West corner of County Wexford bordering County Waterford. \u00a0It has marked\u00a0the entrance to Waterford Harbour at the mouth of the three sisters river system for over 800 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Visitor centre offers guided tours of this wonderful Medieval lighthouse tower, built by William Marshal, the Earl of Pembroke.\u00a0\u00a0Known as the Greatest Knight and the most famous Knight of his time, Marshal built the tower as part of the development of his Lordship of Leinster, to protect and develop the important shipping trade in the 13th Century.<\/p>\n<p>Purpose built as a lighthouse 800 years ago, and still fully operational today, it truly is one of a kind!<br \/>\n~<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heritageisland.com\/attractions\/hook-lighthouse\/\"
