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

Maughold Head Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower standing on the eastern coast, topped with a black lantern and decorative trim. The structure rises approximately 23 meters above the rocky shoreline and operates as an automated navigation aid.

The lighthouse was built in 1914 by engineers David and Charles Stevenson to protect ships from hazards near Whitestone Bank. Its construction responded to maritime safety concerns that had emerged from shipping incidents in the area.

The lighthouse marks an important point in maritime navigation and has shaped the eastern coastline's character for over a century. Visitors notice how deeply it connects to the island's relationship with the sea.

The light signals reach far across the water and the tower can be accessed by climbing a series of steps. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and the exposed location on the cliffs.

Keeper's cottages once stood near the tower and required climbing many steps to reach them. These buildings were later converted into private homes and reveal how lighthouse keepers and their families lived.
