St Ann's Head Lighthouse is a 17th-century lighthouse located on St Ann's Head in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The lighthouse stands 45 feet tall and has a range of 12 nautical miles. It was built in 1841 to guide vessels into the nearby Milford Haven and to warn of the hazardous coastline. The lighthouse is painted white with a red band and has a distinctive shape, making it a prominent landmark in the area. It is still an active aid to navigation and is managed by Trinity House.
It's a lighthouse. And, aesthetically, it's not a particularly good one. The big plus to this location is the coastline... absolutely stunning, especially so at this time of the year. If you've a disability, unfortunately, the proper carpark is just too far away. Obviously, I can't mention the residents' only carpark where someone could potentially leave a vehicle for a short time...
During my recent visit to Pembrokeshire, I had the pleasure of exploring the iconic St. Ann's Head Lighthouse, and it truly was a remarkable experience. This historic landmark stands proudly atop a rugged cliff, overlooking the stunning coastline. The location of the lighthouse is simply breathtaking. Perched on the edge of the cliff, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding sea and landscape. The rugged beauty of the Pembrokeshire coastline, combined with the dramatic cliffs and crashing waves, creates a mesmerizing atmosphere that is truly unforgettable. St. Ann's Head Lighthouse offers visitors the chance to learn about the maritime history of the area. The onsite visitor center provides informative displays and exhibits that delve into the rich maritime heritage, showcasing artifacts, photographs, and stories from the past. It's worth noting that access to the lighthouse may be limited at times due to weather conditions or preservation efforts. Toilets: yes, public toilet available at the site Parking: Yes, dale beach car park, with ample amount of parking
Whether you are just on a wander or a Geology student looking for Cobblers Hole. This is must visit. I've been here in rain, wind and shine. It is simply a beautiful place to see. The new lighthouse and fog horn are automatic. The older St Anne's Lighthouse is up for sale if I had the money I'd be there now. Check it out on rightmove. Still available for sale as of Oct 23.
WOW, such a beautiful place! We stayed in No.1 for just under a week, the trails and paths are amazing to walk through, we also had a dog and they loved the beaches! I am really not one for walking, especially near cliffs but I was pleasantly suprised how enjoyable it was! Would definitely stay here again! 10/10
What a fabulous holiday spot ,wild and rugged .... lighthouse certainly needed here .... currently in 50 hour a mile winds and very wet
Good size free car park. No entry to inside of the lighthouse. Nice coastal walk. The converted lighthouse is up for sale at PS900,000. Not sure why the have not given it a lick of paint.
