Portland Bill Low Light, Historic lighthouse at Portland Bill, England.
The 25-meter tall lighthouse at Portland Bill features white stone walls and stands at the southern edge of the Isle of Portland.
Built in 1869 by architect James Nicholas Douglass, the lighthouse served as a lower beacon to guide vessels through the dangerous waters around Portland Bill.
The Grade II listed building represents maritime heritage through its exhibition center, which displays historical navigation equipment and lighthouse keeper stories.
Visitors can climb 155 steps to reach the lantern room, with entry fees starting at nine pounds for adults and seven pounds for children.
The lighthouse underwent modernization in 2021, reducing its light range from 25 to 18 nautical miles while maintaining its essential navigation function.
