Bull Point Lighthouse

Ilfracombe, United Kingdom

Bull Point Lighthouse near Ilfracombe, United Kingdom, on the north Devon coast at Morte Point, guides ships past hazardous rocks like the Morte Stone since its original construction in 1879 by Trinity House using local stone and a first-order optic for three white flashes every half-minute plus a red sector light.

A catastrophic cliff collapse in 1972 damaged the structure, prompting a new automated cylindrical tower and keepers' house built inland in 1975, reusing the 1960 optic and diaphone fog signal that was later decommissioned in 1988, with full automation by 1995.

Accessible via coastal footpaths amid dramatic cliffs and seals in Rockham Bay, the site offers scenic views for walkers but remains private property without public entry, now featuring former keepers' cottages as holiday rentals.
