Built in 1821 but inactive for many years. The round stone tower is 49 feet tall. Located at the end of a pier on Salt Island at the north entrance to Holyhead's old harbor.
Built in 1916. The octagonal masonry tower is 59 feet tall and rises from a two story keeper's house. The light signal is a white or red flash, depending on direction, every 10 seconds.
Skokholm Island is a small island off the southwest tip of Wales that was purchased by a wildlife trust in 2012. The 4 rooms in the keeper's quarters are available for rental although the island can only be accessed by boat in good weather. Our tour group was unable to land because of rough seas and some fog.
Located 5 miles northwest of St. Ann's Head.
New railway station signage in WLS, a typeface of which it is suggested that it merely is a ugliest-of-all sans serifs Arial look alike.
For those of you who are not familiar with German-Railway-speak: Hbf stand for Hauptbahnhof, which means main station.

Built in 1890 and still an active lighthouse. The cast iron tower is 30 feet tall and equipped with a modern optic which flashes white every 2.5 seconds.
Located in Barry on the west breakwater about 9 miles southwest of Cardiff.
Barry is now a sleepy small seaport, popular with yachtsman and tourists, but in 1913 more coal was shipped from this port than anywhere else in the world.
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..

You can't quite tell it from the pictures, but I got a bob with a swingline, and I freakin' LOVE it. I was trying to let it grow out more so I could give more to Locks of Love, but it was starting to tear and knot up, and my hairdresser said it was TIME. We can still donate what she took, and they'll sell it to offset costs, but it won't be enough to make a wig. :(
Built in 1776 but inactive since 1883 when replaced by a lightship. . The round brick tower is 58 feet tall and has been private property for over 100 years. Located on the beach about one half mile from the Point of Ayr and once marked the entrance to the River Dee estuary. Water laps at the lighthouse base at high tide.
The whole surrounding area is a nature preserve.
This was the last stop on our tour of Welsh lighthouses, as we soon crossed over into England and the approaches to Liverpool.
