About Berkeley Pill Range Front Lighthouse
A square, 8-meter-tall cast iron skeletal tower, built in 1937, houses the Berkeley Pill Range Front light. This structure, painted black with a white lantern and a slatted white daymark, stands on the south bank of the River Severn near Berkeley. Its focal plane is 5 meters above sea level, emitting a single green flash. The light has a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles, marking a downstream course for vessels. This station was initially established in 1906 with a light on a wooden post before the current tower was erected.
Why it matters: This range light specifically guides westbound shipping along the Severn, assisting vessels in maintaining their course through these waters.
