Maughold Head Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Maughold, Isle of Man.

The white cylindrical tower rises 23 meters above the eastern coastline, featuring a black lantern and ochre decorative elements at its summit.

Engineers David and Charles Stevenson completed the construction of Maughold Head Lighthouse in 1914 following maritime safety concerns near Whitestone Bank.

The lighthouse stands as a testament to Isle of Man's maritime heritage, serving as a crucial navigation point between Point of Ayre and Douglas Head.

The automated lighthouse produces three white light flashes every thirty seconds, visible from a distance of 15 nautical miles across the waters.

The former lighthouse keeper's cottages, reached by climbing 128 steps, transformed into accommodation properties sold for £600,000 in 2014.
