Le phare de Trevose Head est un phare érigé à Trevose Head (en), sur la côte nord du comté de Cornouailles en Angleterre. À l'origine, prévu à l'ouest de Padstow, il a été bâti là car il n'y avait plus de lumière entre Land's End et Lundy et serait visible à partir de Cap Cornwall à Hartland Point (en) .
Built in 1847, this striking lighthouse stands at 27 meters tall, guiding ships along this treacherous stretch of the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors are treated to panoramic views of the sea, the coastline, and the surrounding countryside.
It is the 27 m (89 ft) tall higher light that remains in use - a white-painted cylindrical stone tower with gallery. Nearby are dwellings for keepers. Operations began at the end of 1847 with a crew of two men. The two original lights were oil lamps, backed with reflectors.
As-tu déjà entendu parler du phare de Trevose Head ? Situé sur la côte nord de la Cornouailles, il a été mis en service en 1847 pour combler un vide de signalisation lumineuse entre Land's End et Lundy.
During gales on 20–21 November 1846 scaffolding attached to the tower was blown away. After completion of the first tower, it was determined that the light was under certain circumstances liable to be mistaken by mariners.
