South Stack Lighthouse, Isle Of Anglesey, Wales, U.K.
Built in 1809. The round stone tower is 92 feet tall and is attached to a one story keeper's house, which is not in the photo. To the left of the tower is the fog signal building. This lighthouse is a Trinity House Visitor Center, the only one in this part of the U.K. The light signal is a white flash every 10 seconds.
Located 3 miles west of Holyhead on a steep sided small island off the northwest tip of the Isle of Anglesey, which has been connected to the mainland by a foot bridge since 1828. The current bridge was built in 1997. To visit the lighthouse requires going both up and down over 400 steps, and despite this difficulty it is one of the U.K.'s most frequently visited lighthouses.
The lighthouse remained totally obscured in deep fog which suddenly cleared just as we prepared to leave, allowing the above photograph.
