Bardsey Lighthouse, Limestone lighthouse in Aberdaron, Wales.
The 30-meter tower features distinctive red and white horizontal bands on its square-planned structure, constructed from unplastered ashlar limestone surfaces.
Trinity House commissioned engineer Joseph Nelson to construct this maritime beacon in 1821, with a total building cost of 5,470 pounds and 12 shillings.
The lighthouse, known as Goleudy Enlli in Welsh, stands as a Grade II listed building, representing the maritime navigation heritage of the Welsh coast.
The light reaches 39 meters above sea level with a range of 18 nautical miles, utilizing solar power to maintain its navigation functions.
The structure contains its original iron gallery railings with a bellied top design, retaining architectural elements from its initial construction period.
