Standing watch over the entrance to the Lune Estuary, Plover Scar Lighthouse is a conspicuous landmark on the Lancashire coastline. Built in 1847, it consists of a 26-foot (8 m) white conical stone tower.
At high tide, it is completely cut off from the land. Remarkably, in 2016 a passing commercial vessel collided with the structure, damaging the upper part of the tower. It has since been repaired.
