Kingswear Daymark, Stone day beacon tower in Kingswear, England.
The 24-meter octagonal limestone tower features eight tall narrow pointed head arches forming stilted pillars and stands at 150 meters elevation above Froward Point.
The Dart Harbour & Navigation Authority constructed this maritime safety structure in 1864 to guide vessels entering the River Dart from the English Channel.
The Grade II listed building represents the maritime traditions of Dartmouth, reflecting the importance of safe navigation in the development of local trade networks.
Visitors can reach the daymark through walking paths that lead to its location, offering clear views of the Devon coastline and River Dart entrance.
The structure maintains its original purpose as a navigational aid without electricity, using its white-painted surface and height to guide ships during daylight hours.
