About Blyth Snook Range Front Lighthouse
This hexagonal wooden tower stands 4 meters tall on the north side of the Blyth estuary, opposite Low Quay. Painted white, its structure supports a blue light with a focal height of 4.5 meters. The tower's design is simple, featuring a small, square opening from which the light emanates. It operates on a single blue flash characteristic, providing a clear signal. The range front light is located just 0.3 kilometers from the port of Blyth and has a geographic range of 8.2 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This light is the front marker of a range system, working with a rear light to establish a precise line of approach for vessels entering or leaving the Port of Blyth. This alignment is essential for safe navigation within the estuary's channels.
