Whiteford Point lighthouse
By Matt Emmett
CATEGORY:
Conservation and Heritage
DESCRIPTION:
The only remaining wave-swept cast-iron lighthouse in the UK, now a rusting ruin located on a remote stretch of coastline in South Wales. The structure was built in 1865 and positioned on a shallow reef 600 meters from Whiteford Sands beach, warning vessels approaching from Burry Port, Llanelli and the open sea to the south. The lights of Burry Port are visible in the image across the estuary. The walk from the nearest village takes around 80 mins and gives the location a very isolated feel, particularly at night.
