Godrevy Lighthouse, an iconic maritime beacon, is situated on Godrevy Island, just off the coast of Cornwall, England. This lighthouse, standing at the northeastern tip of St. Ives Bay, serves as a vital navigational aid, guiding vessels safely through the perilous waters of the region.

Constructed in 1859 and first lit in 1859, Godrevy Lighthouse was established in response to a series of shipwrecks, most notably the tragic wreck of the SS Nile in 1854, which underscored the need for a lighthouse in the area. The lighthouse was built to mark the Stones Reef, a treacherous stretch of underwater rocks extending from Godrevy Island, posing significant dangers to maritime traffic.

Langness Lighthouse was established in 1880 and engineered by David and Thomas Stevenson. The Lighthouse is operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

The lighthouse tower was completed ahead of schedule and the light was first exhibited on Wednesday, December 1880.

The fog signal was discontinued in 1987 and the lighthouse was automated in 1996.

The keeper's cottages were converted to private residential accommodation. For a period of time they were the residence of TV personality Jeremy Clarkson.
