Strumble Head Lighthouse, White lighthouse on Ynys Meicel island in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The cylindrical stone tower rises 17 meters high on a rocky island, connected to the mainland by an iron bridge in northern Pembrokeshire.
Built in 1908 to replace a light vessel in Cardigan Bay, the structure received electrical upgrades in 1949 and underwent full automation in 1980.
The lantern room contains a plaque with a verse from Psalm 127, reflecting maritime traditions and religious influences in Welsh coastal architecture.
The lighthouse operates remotely from Trinity House Control Centre in Harwich, generating a beam visible for 26 nautical miles across the Irish Sea.
The location serves as a reference point for transatlantic aviation through the Strumble VOR navigation system and provides a platform for observing migrating seabirds.
