Pendeen Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Pendeen, Cornwall, England
The cylindrical concrete rubblestone tower stands 17 meters high on a granite headland, with its light positioned 59 meters above the water level.
Trinity House constructed this lighthouse in 1900 to protect vessels from the dangerous rocks near Pendeen Watch, where numerous ships had encountered difficulties.
The lighthouse complex includes former keepers' cottages with courtyard walls, now offering accommodations for visitors interested in Cornwall's maritime heritage.
The automated lighthouse emits four flashes every 15 seconds, with its LED lantern reaching a range of 16 nautical miles across the North Atlantic waters.
The lighthouse collects rainwater from its roof, storing it underground to maintain a sustainable water supply for the residential buildings.
