St. Ann's Head Low Lighthouse, Pembrokeshire National Park, Wales, U.K.
The lighthouse was built in 1841, but the station dates to 1714 and there is evidence that a private lighthouse existed on this site in the 1660's. The octagonal masonry tower is 42 feet tall and is attached to a 1970's building that served as a lighthouse control site, but is now used to monitor helicopter traffic. The original first order beehive Fresnel lens remains in use, and the light signal is a white or red flash, depending on direction, every 5 seconds. There are 5 keeper's houses that are now available for rental.
Located on the point of St. Ann's Head in Pembrokeshire National Park, marking the entrance into Milford Haven.
There is a nearby "High" lighthouse, long since abandoned, that has the lantern room removed and replaced with an observation room that was used to monitor for German U-boats during WWII.
The building is now a B and B.
