Farne Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse on Inner Farne, Northumberland, England
The white brick tower with a red section rises 13 meters above the southern tip of Inner Farne, guiding ships through coastal waters.
Daniel Alexander designed this maritime structure in 1811 to replace a previous coal-burning light that had operated on the island since 1778.
The Grade II listed building represents the evolution of British maritime navigation, operated by Trinity House throughout its active service history.
Solar-powered since 1996, the lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds with an intensity of 1,650 candela, visible for 8 nautical miles.
The lighthouse complex included a second tower 152 meters away, which was later decommissioned after the main structure's automation in 1910.
