The Lantern Room, Great Orme Head Lighthouse, Llandudno, Wales, U.K.

The former lantern room, which now provides a wonderful view of the Irish Sea.

 

Built in 1862, but inactive since 1985 when it was sold into private hands and converted into a B and B. The 37 foot tall lantern room is at ground level and is attached to a 2 story castellated keepers house which resembles a castle more than a lighthouse. The whole structure is perched on the vertical cliffs of the Great Orme, a huge limestone promontory jutting into the Irish Sea.

 

Located on Marine Drive, a toll road, 3 miles northwest of Llandudno.
