Hartland Point Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Hartland Point, England.

The white brick lighthouse stands 18 meters tall at the western edge of the Bristol Channel, marking the transition to the Atlantic Ocean.

James Nicholas Douglass designed this Grade II listed building, which began its maritime service in 1874 with a first-order rotating catadioptric light system.

The lighthouse opening ceremony included Bishop Frederick Temple of Exeter, with Lady Stucley of Hartland Abbey performing the first lighting.

Modern LED technology replaced the original light system in 2012, eliminating the need for resident keepers and reducing operational costs.

The lighthouse grounds span 16 acres of cliff-top land, featuring a cylindrical tower and a two-story foundation that previously served as keeper quarters.
