About Lizard Lighthouse

The Lizard Lighthouse (Cornish: Golowji Lysardh) is a lighthouse at Lizard Point, Cornwall, England, built to guide vessels passing through the English Channel. It was often the welcoming beacon to persons returning to England, where on a clear night, the reflected light could be seen 100 mi (160 km) away.
