Lundy Old Light
United Kingdom · Europe
About
The isle of Lundy has three lighthouses: a pair of active lights built in 1897 and a preserved older lighthouse dating from 1819.
The old lighthouse (together with the adjacent keepers' accommodation) is a Grade II* listed building and the tower is a scheduled monument. An associated fog signal battery is also a scheduled monument containing several Grade II listed structures. The North and South lighthouses are also Grade II listed buildings.
The Old Light and its associated keepers' house are today kept open by the Landmark Trust. The North and South lighthouses are run and maintained by Trinity House, the general lighthouse authority for England and Wales; nowadays they are fully automated, and monitored via a telemetry link from Harwich.
