Hilbre Island Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Hilbre Island, Wirral, England.
The white square tower lighthouse stands 3 meters tall with its light positioned 14 meters above the mean high water level.
The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Authority established the lighthouse in 1927, and Trinity House took control of operations in 1973.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to the River Dee estuary, which forms a natural boundary between England and Wales.
The solar-powered beacon emits a red flash every 3 seconds, reaching a distance of 5 nautical miles to guide vessels through local waters.
The structure combines traditional maritime architecture with modern solar technology, reflecting the evolution of navigational systems in British waters.
