Burnham-low lighthouse

The Low Lighthouse is one of three lighthouses in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England and the only one which is still active. It is a Grade II listed building and stands on the foreshore. First lit in 1832, the Low Lighthouse was run in conjunction with the onshore High Lighthouse for then next 137 years. Following improvements to the High Light, the Low Light was then deactivated in 1969; but it was then re-established in 1993.

Burnham-on-Sea is notable for its beach and mudflats, which are characteristic of the Bristol Channel where the tide can recede for over 1.5 miles (2.4 km).
