Berry Head

Another glorious day...sunny weather, quality time with family and good food...what more could you ask for!

My blip is taken at Berry Head and shows the lighthouse and what used to be the RNLI station where my Uncle was stationed until his retirement almost 30 years ago.

Berry Head is reputedly the shortest lighthouse in Great Britain, but also one of the highest, being only 5 metres (16 ft) tall, but 58 metres (190 ft) above mean sea level. It was also said to be the deepest because the optic was originally turned by a weight falling down a 45 metres (148 ft) deep shaft, though an electric motor is now used.
