South Stack Lighthouse, Holy Island, Holyhead, Anglesey, North Wales
South Stack Lighthouse was built by Trinity House in 1809, marking a tiny islet off Anglesey at the north west tip of Wales. It is reached via a descent of 400 steps down the steep mainland cliffs.
The small white building atop the rugged sea cliffs is Ellin’s Tower, a castellated folly, originally used as a summer house, which was built between 1820 and 1850 for the notable Stanley family. It was used during both the First and Second World Wars as a coastal observation tower and is now used as an RSPB information centre for the nature reserve.
South Stack is a wonderful place to watch thousands of breeding seabirds including guillemots, razorbills and puffins. To the top right of the image, above the cliffs, can be seen the Snowdon mountain range.
