Bamburgh Lighthouse

Set just north of Bambugh here is an unusual lighthouse. Established in 1910 and never manned. It is the most northerly land-based lighthouse in England. It was discontinued in 1975 but is still monitored and controlled by Trinity House in Harwich. We are only 20 miles from the Scotland border here. This view from the north to the south shows the Farne Islands with its own lighthouse too.

See PiP for closer look with bigger wall, from the south.

Nice full screen, enjoy the day.

Hi Gordon. I have mapped it now too. A fine walk up from the castle to here and a most photogenic spot for sure. Glad you liked it.

HWW, enjoy the week. Herb

Beautifully composed Herb..............and a lovely bit of coastline. The lighthouse is quite unusual, not at all lighthouse-shaped..!!

I like the "face" in the PiP!

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Another scene to take your fancy Keith. Haha, you see how you are different to me -I never saw that face until now. I thought I was observant but not as good as you it seems.

Cheers. Herb
