St Tudwal’s Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on St Tudwal's Island West, Wales
The cylindrical stone tower with balcony and lantern rises 11 meters high at an elevation of 38.9 meters above the Irish Sea.
Trinity House purchased the site in 1876 for £111 and completed the construction of the lighthouse in 1877 to guide vessels in Cardigan Bay.
The lighthouse stands as a testament to Welsh maritime architecture, earning recognition as a Grade II listed building in Gwynedd.
The white light reaches 14 nautical miles while the red sector light extends 10 nautical miles, with one flash occurring every 15 seconds.
The facility switched to solar power generation and became one of the first automated lighthouses in 1922, decades before other regional maritime structures.
