High on the cliffs at North Head is the magnificent St Bees Lighthouse, a fine example of a lighthouse with superb views. The current incarnation was built in 1822 to guide ships sailing between the ports of Wales and the Solway Firth.

The lighthouse of St Bees is perched over a cliff of the Irish Sea.
On good days you can see the "Isle of Man" from here!
