Godrevy Lighthouse was built in 1858–1859 on Godrevy Island in St. Ives Bay, on the north coast of Cornwall. Standing approximately 300 metres off Godrevy Head, it marks the Stones reef, which has been a hazard to shipping for centuries.
The lighthouse was made famous by Virginia Woolfe in her novel To the Lighthouse. The lighthouse stands on the small and rocky Godrevy Island, at the centre of a circular grassy area enclosed by a low stone wall. It was a moody morning when I captured these images.
