Lighthouses of the UK: Beacons of History and Charm
The UK’s coastline is dotted with iconic lighthouses, each with its own unique story to tell. These towering beacons have guided sailors safely to shore for centuries, standing tall against the elements, from the rugged cliffs of Scotland to the sandy shores of Cornwall. Whether you're a maritime enthusiast or just love a good seaside view, there’s something magical about lighthouses.
A Brief History of UK Lighthouses
Lighthouses have been crucial to maritime safety since the Romans built the first one in the UK, at Dover. With over 250 lighthouses still in operation today, the UK has one of the most fascinating collections of these coastal sentinels in the world. The famous red and white striped lighthouses are particularly eye-catching, serving as both navigational aids and beloved symbols of British seaside charm.
From the dramatic cliffs of Beachy Head to the isolated beauty of Eddystone, each lighthouse has its own character. They’re not just practical—lighthouses have also become landmarks for coastal walks, postcard-worthy photography, and reminders of the romance of the sea.
