Lusitania Museum & Old Head Signal Tower

The girl at the information point and ticket office is very knowledgeable on the history of the signal towers and the Lusitania disaster. The little cafe is great and the walk around the cliffs is well worth the drive.

Although not very big, very interesting and the memorial garden is beautiful and moving. The views general are outstanding as is the coastal walk

On the day that we went, there was a power outage at the museum, so we weren’t able to enjoy it to its fullest (they said that the video presentations weren’t working due to it). They were very nice and didn’t charge full price for it on that day! The lady that sells the tickets was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. The museum is small, but it has many letters, pictures and informations about the Lusitania (which we had no idea that it was a ship that sank during WWI) and the Old Head of Kinsale. We definitely learned a lot from it. The highlight, though, is the view from it. The canyons are simply mesmerizing and you can walk to them easily. Definitely recommend the visit if you have the time.

This place is amazing with a fantastic guide who is so knowledgeable. We were so lucky to visit on a clear day with great views from the tower. The story is very tragic but is sensitively portrayed and marked with the memorial garden. Toilets and cafe with snacks also. Highly recommend!

Museum is alright and provides you some insight in the sad and unfortunate sinking of RMS Lusitania.. The views from top is also brilliant and the climb is also fairly easy. The ticket felt a little pricier compared to what you get, but for a small place like that and to have our history preserved it was a small pruce to pay!!. Has a Cafe nearby with parking and a toilet, so good for people with kids or elders.. it is walking distace to the Old head from where you can easily get the best views of the turquoise blue Atlantic and the rugged coastline..

Well worth the diversion. Both the story of the signal tower and that of the Lusitania sinking are told well.

Interesting, but such a pity one is restricted and can't go to the golf course, the lighthouse, of the broken wall. All private property. The coffee shop was great, friendly, good coffee. And the 5th 🌟, cause when the rain came in, we had a dry seat and a warm coffee to wait it out.

A nice location on the cost with a beautiful wide view across the sea and the peninsula which is now privately owned by the golf club so unfortunately not accessible for non-members. The museum is small but very interesting set in an old restored defense tower over 3 floors. The roof level provides an even better view of the area. The museum also has a small gift shop.

Great stop when touring in West Ireland. There is a restored Napoleonic-war Signal Tower, the Lusitania Museum, the Lusitania Memorial Garden, rest rooms and snack bar. Very interesting information regarding the events surrounding the sinking of the RMS Lusitania by the German submarine U-20. The headland and Old Head Lighthouse is on a private golf course, and access is denied to the general public, so the Signal Tower provides the best publicly accessible views of the beautiful Old Head area. Five Stars.
