Talacre Lighthouse, Point of Ayr (1). Talacre lighthouse sits on an often windswept beach on the North Wales coast. The lighthouse has been noted for numerous ghostly sightings, people claiming to see a figure wearing old fashioned lighthouse keeper clothes and standing in front of the glass dome of the abandoned lighthouse.
Perch Rock Lighthouse, New Brighton. Perch Rock lighthouse stands guard over shipping entering and leaving the port of Liverpool. Although the lamp was removed in the 1970s, the lighthouse still signals; it continually flashes in morse code the names of local people that have lost their lives at sea.
Eilean Iarmain Lighthouse, Skye (1). The lighthouse of Eilean Sionnach is a perfect centerpiece to a quite spectacular bay, surrounded on three sides by cloud-wreathed mountains and the waters of the Sound of Sleat. It will always be one of my favorite locations.

Twr Mawr Lighthouse, Llanddwyn Island. Twr Mawr lighthouse is a unconventional structure, which might not be immediately recognisable to all as a lighthouse. Nonetheless, it's location and the backdrop of the mountains of Snowdonia make it very much a favourite of mine.
Penmon Point Lighthouse, Anglesey (1). Penmon Point lighthouse watches over the sound between Penmon Point and Puffin island on the north east tip of Anglesey. It was built, perhaps belatedly, after the Rothesay Castle sank here in 1831, during a day trip from Liverpool. 117 lives were lost.

St Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay (1). St Mary's Lighthouse has a long and often bloody history. From shipwecks and smugglers, to cholera outbreaks and even a gibbeting, this is a location that seen more than it's fair share of drama.

Godrevy Lighthouse, Cornwall. Godrevy Lighthouse was built in 1858–1859. The Stones reef had always been a hazard to shipping and a lighthouse had been considered many times prior to 1858 but nothing came of plans until the steamship SS Nile was wrecked in 1854 with the loss of all on board.
