Special note
Tearaght Island is private property owned by the Commissioners of Irish Lights (CIL). Access to the island is strictly forbidden unless approval has been granted by the CIL in advance. The only permitted means of access is by CIL helicopter. The island presents a serious mountaineering challenge which is far beyond the abilities of most hillwalkers. For these reasons, High Point Ireland does not encourage Highpointeers to attempt a landing on Tearaght Island.

All of our Sport Hillwalking initiatives are 100% free for you to take part in. However, please note that we do have significant operational costs which we cover on a voluntary basis ourselves. The long-term development strategy for High Point Ireland, Sport Hillwalking and our growing family of independent Irish information websites will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. To help us speed things along, we'd be most grateful if you would consider using the affiliate links we have set up on The Ireland Travel Guide website to buy your outdoor gear and book accommodation / transport online in the future. Using these links will not affect the price you pay at checkout. However, each purchase / booking you make could send a small commission our way at no extra cost to you. Make no mistake, this is certainly not a get-rich-quick effort, but rather a very slow drip-feed of pennies and cents to partially cover the time, effort and money we continue to invest in our range of independent projects. Thank you for your support.
