South Stack lighthouse

South Stack lighthouse is located on a rocky islet situated off the east coast of Anglesey, north Wales. It was built in 1809, and is 28 metres tall, standing about 60 metres overall above sea level.

The lighthouse can be visited, but only by descending - and the ascending - the 400 steps down the steep cliff face. The surrounding cliffs are used by thousands of sea birds, particularly guillemots, as nesting sites.
