Watchet Harbour Lighthouse, Cast iron lighthouse in Watchet, United Kingdom.
The red hexagonal lighthouse stands 7 meters tall at the entrance of Watchet Harbor, marking the starboard approach to the marina with a green light.
Constructed in 1862 by Hennet, Spinks and Else of Bridgwater for £75, following a design by James Abernethy to support the growing maritime trade.
The lighthouse represents Somerset's maritime legacy, serving as a key navigational aid for vessels entering the harbor along the Bristol Channel.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by walking along the westerly breakwater, with paid parking available in Watchet village from 9 am to 6 pm.
The Watchet Harbour Authority manages this lighthouse independently from Trinity House, which controls most other lighthouses in England.
