About Trevose Head Lighthouse
Trevose Head Lighthouse is a landmark. Location: St. Merryn, Cornwall.
Trevose Head Lighthouse is a lighthouse on Trevose Head on the north Cornish coast at grid reference SW850766 lying to the WSW of Padstow and was sited here as there was previously no light from Land's End to Lundy and it would be visible from Cape Cornwall to Hartland Point. The tower is 89 feet (27 m) tall, and has a range of 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi), but, on a clear night, it can be seen from Pendeen Lighthouse, over 35 miles (56 km) away.
