Withernsea Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse in Withernsea, England.
Withernsea Lighthouse is an octagonal brick tower standing on the Holderness coastline in England. The structure features a viewing platform that offers views across the surrounding coastal landscape.
Construction of the tower began in 1892 in response to numerous shipwrecks along this dangerous stretch of coast. It became an important navigation aid for maritime safety in the region.
The lighthouse served as a vital guide for sailors navigating these dangerous waters for generations. Today, its exhibits tell stories of maritime life and connections that shaped the local community.
The tower is open for visitors to climb and reach the platform at the top. The best time to visit is during clear weather when the coastal views are most rewarding.
Though located roughly 400 meters inland from the current waterline, the structure also houses modern antennas providing mobile phone coverage for the area. This shows how the building has taken on new purposes over time.
