Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse at Foreland Point, Countisbury, England.
Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse is a brick tower standing about 15 meters high on a clifftop at Foreland Point with a white-painted exterior. A gallery and lantern room at the top house the light mechanism that guides ships through the Bristol Channel.
The lighthouse became operational in 1900 to help guide ships safely through the treacherous waters of the Bristol Channel. It was built in response to numerous shipwrecks that had occurred along this coastline.
The lighthouse serves as a distinctive coastal landmark that draws visitors to the clifftop paths around Foreland Point. Its white tower has become part of how locals and travelers understand this stretch of rugged coastline.
Reaching the lighthouse requires a short walk along coastal footpaths from the nearest car park, and visitors should be prepared for changeable weather. Clear days offer the best views when the surrounding landscape is most visible.
The keeper's cottage next to the tower has been converted into a holiday home where guests can watch porpoises and deer from the grounds. This repurposed space offers a rare chance to stay within the working lighthouse setting.
