St. John’s Point Lighthouse
Northern Ireland
Perched on a rugged coastline, this lighthouse boasts a striking yellow and black striped tower that stands out against the backdrop of the sea. Its origins trace back to the late 19th century, serving as a beacon of safety for sailors braving the treacherous waters. One quirky detail is the octagonal lantern room, which houses a historic lens that once shone over 20 miles. Despite its remote location, the site offers sweeping ocean views and a sense of serene isolation, making it a favourite spot for photographers and history buffs alike.
