An early morning photo taken against the sun.
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.

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..
