St Anthony's Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse at St Anthony Head, Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The white granite octagonal tower with attached keeper's house stands 19 meters tall at the entrance of Falmouth Harbor.
Trinity House commissioned the construction of this maritime structure in 1835 to protect vessels from the dangerous Manacles Rocks.
The lighthouse gained recognition through its appearance in the opening sequence of the 1980s television series Fraggle Rock.
The automated lighthouse flashes every 15 seconds and includes a red sector light that indicates the direction of hazardous rocks.
Former keepers' quarters now function as holiday accommodations, offering visitors direct access to coastal maritime heritage.
