The Old Lighthouse, Lundy, is a seventeenth-century beacon structure located on the island of Lundy off the coast of North Devon. The lighthouse was constructed to guide shipping through the Bristol Channel and represents an early phase of navigational aid provision along this strategically important waterway. The tower exhibits characteristics typical of its period, constructed in stone to withstand the exposed maritime environment. This structure reflects the growing importance of maritime commerce and safety during the early modern period, when improved navigation aids became increasingly necessary to protect vessels navigating the treacherous waters surrounding Lundy.
