Bull Point Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Mortehoe, Devon, England.
The white cylindrical tower rises 11 meters above the northern coast of Devon, providing maritime guidance through its rotating light system.
Construction of the original structure began in 1879 following petitions from local merchants and clergy concerned about shipping safety in the area.
The lighthouse compound includes former keeper cottages that now serve as holiday accommodations, preserving maritime residential heritage.
The lighthouse emits three flashes every ten seconds with a range of 20 nautical miles, directing vessels away from dangerous coastal rocks.
Ground movement in 1972 caused the collapse of 15 meters of cliff face, leading to the construction of a new lighthouse further inland.
