Portishead Point lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Portishead, England
The black metal pyramidal structure rises 9 meters from its concrete base, standing at Battery Point along the Bristol Channel.
The Bristol Port Company constructed this navigational aid in 1931, initially featuring a two-tonne fog bell cast by Gillett & Johnston.
The lighthouse bell, removed in 1998 and restored in 2012, now stands as a heritage monument on Wyndham Way near Portishead High Street.
Access to the lighthouse comes via steps beside the open-air pool and Lido Café, with public seating available for viewing the Welsh coastline.
The lighthouse guides vessels at the point where ships pass closer to mainland Britain than anywhere else along the UK coastline.
