The building complex of this lighthouse consists of two white octagonal towers, between which a number of buildings have been erected. Only the 19 meter high eastern tower contains a light house. In this lantern room is an electric light source and a first order revolving catadioptric system with four lens panels and a focal length of 700 mm. This optical system generates a white flash every 3 seconds that is visible up to a distance of 26 nautical miles (about 48 km). The light is 70 meters above sea level. An electric fog horn on the tower gallery produces a tone every 30 seconds in poor visibility. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

When it is foggy you can hear those fog horns for miles around. The sound is eerie and comforting at the same time. We did a walk from Lizard recently and that sound was our constant companion.
