Tags: Lighthouse, Tower.
Wolf Rock Lighthouse is on Wolf Rock 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) off Lands End. The lighthouse is 41 metres (135 ft) in height and is constructed from Cornish granite that was prepared at Penzance on the mainland of Cornwall. It took 9 years from 1861 to 1869 to build due to the treacherous weather conditions that brew constantly between Cornwall and Scilly. The light can be seen from Land’s End by day and night and is almost exactly halfway between the Lizard and the Scilly isles.
