An amazing lighthouse property in north Wales has gone back on the market. Point Lynas is a Grade II listed building on Anglesey’s north coast.
Located near Amlwch, the site has been a lighthouse since 1779 when two oil lamps with small metal reflectors were used to guide ships, North Wales Live reports. A new lighthouse was built in 1835 by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board at a cost of £1,165.
Trinity House assumed responsibility for Point Lynas in 1973. The station is now fully automated and operated remotely from Harwich in Essex, backed up by standby generators which cut in should the mains power fail.
