About Maryport Lighthouse
Also known as: [Maryport] (South Pierhead)
This square pyramidal lighthouse stands 6 meters tall and was constructed in 1996 from aluminum. Its white tower has no lantern, and the focal height of the light is 10 meters. The light emits a single white flash every 1.5 seconds, providing a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. Located 0.1 kilometers from the nearest port, it marks the entrance to Maryport Harbour on England's Solway Firth. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for the safe entry and exit of vessels at Maryport Harbour, navigating the tidal complexities of the Solway Firth. Its active status and modern design support local shipping and fishing fleets.
