Lighthouse - Strumble Head

Strumble Head Lighthouse stands on Ynys Meicel (meaning St. Michael's Island), a rocky island at the northwest corner of Pencaer, five miles west of the town of Fishguard, in north Pembrokeshire, Wales. The present Lighthouse was erected in 1908, but the first proposal to build a lighthouse here was made in 1825 by Trinity House. The Lighthouse replaces a light-vessel previously moored in the south of Cardigan Bay. The lighthouse is similar in construction to Stokholm Lighthouse and is among the last lighthouses to be built in Britain.
