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.
Built in 1794 by the Swansea Harbor Board. The two stage brick tower is 56 feet tall and the two stages allowed for coal fires to be displayed at two levels. Trinity House took over the lighthouse in 1875. The modern light is provided by two 300 mm lenses and the light signal is 4 white flashes separated by 2. 2 seconds every 20 seconds.
Located 7.5 miles south of Swansea on a small island just off Mumbles Head, and marking the entrance to Swansea Bay.

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.

i know a cracker isn't really much of a fattening food, but it was late at night and since my surgery i really can't eat all that much.
and the title...it's a direct quote from a kid back in school...

The lighthouse was built in 1821. The square masonry tower is 98 feet tall and painted with red and white bands. There are 3 one story keeper's cottages available for rental, although it requires a boat to get to the island, which is a nature preserve. The light signal is 5 red flashes every 15 seconds. The original Fresnel lens was removed in 2014 and replaced with an LED.
The one available boat to service our tour group could only carry 7-8 passengers at one time, which resulted in 3 trips. The photo taken in the dense fog was from the first boat trip. The fog finally lifted by the time of the third boat trip.
The lighthouse marks the north entrance to Cardigan Bay
The lantern room and the observation window.
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..
