Do you notice the lighthouses dotted around the British coast? Each one tells a story
A complete guide to the lighthouses of England, Wales and the Channel Islands. How many lighthouses are there around the coastlines, do you notice them when driving past? What do you think of when you see a lighthouse? Have you ever seen one up close and even visited one?
A historical introduction looks at Britain’s lighthouse heritage, lighthouse keepers, historic lighthouses, and how Trinity House came into being and what its role is today.
It includes every known lighthouse past and present, from the largest and best known, such as Beachy Head, Eddystone and Skerries, to the smallest harbour lights and daymarks, such as Gribben Head in Cornwall.
There are outstanding photographs of every tower and its associated buildings, and a history of each lighthouse together with key data and how visitors can access the light.
