Point Lynas Lighthouse, Llaneilian, Isle Of Anglesey, Wales, U.K.

The entry gate.

 

Built in 1835 by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board,, although the station was established in 1779. The structure looks more like a castle than a lighthouse. The lantern room is at ground level with an observation window just above, all in the front of the castellated main building. The whole structure is surrounded by a high stone wall. The light signal is a white light, 8 seconds on and 2 off.

 

The lighthouse was transferred to Trinity House in 1973 and sold and made into a B and B in 2000.

 

Located on Point Lynas about one mile from the village of Llaneilian..
