Lighthouse of the Week, December 25-31, 2022: Whitby High Light, Whitby, UK

 

I decided to end the year with the third Whitby lighthouse, the High Light.  It's a highlight of the tour. (Sorry).

This is where it is, slightly outside of the town proper.

Information about it, from the Lighthouse Directory again.

"1858 (James Walker). Active; focal plane 73 m (240 ft); white or red light, depending on direction, 5 s on 5 s off. 13 m (43 ft) octagonal brick tower with lantern and gallery, painted white, attached to 1-story keeper's house. ...  Located atop a cliff about 3 km (2 mi) east of Whitby Harbour."
