Portland Bill High Light, Grade II listed lighthouse at Portland Bill, England
The Portland Bill High Light stands 12 meters tall with a white cylindrical tower structure overlooking the English Channel from its coastal position.
Engineer James Nicholas Douglass designed this navigational beacon in 1869 to guide vessels through the dangerous waters near Portland Bill peninsula.
The structure represents British maritime engineering excellence and forms part of a network of lighthouses protecting ships along the English coastline.
The lighthouse continues to function as a crucial navigational aid, helping vessels safely navigate through the challenging waters of the English Channel.
The lighthouse retains its original architectural elements and mechanical systems, including the rotating lens mechanism installed during its construction period.
