Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse at Foreland Point, Countisbury, England.
The round brick tower of Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse stands 15 meters tall and features a white exterior with a balcony and lantern at the top.
The lighthouse began operating on September 28, 1900, with its original light system producing 56,750 candles of illumination to guide vessels through the Bristol Channel.
Former lighthouse keepers considered this post challenging due to limited sunlight throughout most of the year, except during the peak of summer months.
The lighthouse flashes four times every fifteen seconds and maintains a light intensity of 150,000 candela, visible up to 18 nautical miles at sea.
The keeper's cottage attached to the lighthouse structure has been converted into a National Trust holiday rental where guests can observe porpoises and deer.
