WHITEHAVEN LIGHTHOUSE, WEST PIER, WHITEHAVEN, CUMBRIA, ENGLAND.
THE ICONIC LIGHTHOUSE ON WHITEHAVEN'S WEST PIER, WHICH STANDS AS ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN LANDMARKS OF THE TOWN, WAS BUILT IN 1841 TO MARK THE NEW LENGTHS OF HARBOUR WALL. THE WHITE TOWER WITH RED TRIM IS BUILT INTO THE BREAKWATER WHICH HAS TWO LEVELS, JOINED BY CASES OF 17 STEPS. 
THE TOWERS IS 16 METRES HIGH IN TOTAL, BUT THE FULL HEIGHT OF THE TOWER CAN NOT BE SEEN FROM THE SEA, BECAUSE OF THE BREAKWATER'S WALL IS SEVERAL METRES TALLER ON THE SEAWARD SIDE. 
THE FLASHING GREEN LIGHT, HOUSED WITHIN A GLASED LANTERN, SHOWS ONCE EVERY 5 SECONDS AND IS VISIBLE FOR 8 NAUTICAL MILES. FROM THIS LOCATION YOU CAN SEE AT LEAST 3 OTHER LIGHTHOUSES, INCLUDING THE OTHER TOWERS WITHIN THE HARBOUR AND THE TRINITY HOUSE LIGHTHOUSE AT ST. BEES HEAD, JUST SOUTH, WHICH UNSUPRISINGLY, AS A RESULT OF THE AREA'S STRONG CONNECTION WITH THE COAL INDUSTRY, WAS THE LAST COAL POWERED LIGHTHOUSE IN ENGLAND. 9 Feet)
