Berry Head Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse at Berry Head, Brixham, United Kingdom.
The cylindrical white tower of Berry Head Lighthouse stands 5 meters tall on a limestone cliff, reaching 58 meters above sea level.
Trinity House commissioned engineer Thomas Matthews to construct this navigation aid in 1906, initially operating with oil gas and a revolving dioptric optic.
The lighthouse forms part of Berry Head National Nature Reserve, near military structures from the Napoleonic period that protected Torbay's harbor.
The lighthouse operates automatically with LED lanterns installed in 2019, monitored from Trinity House's Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.
This structure holds the distinction of being the shortest lighthouse in Britain while maintaining a light elevation of 58 meters due to its cliff position.
