South Stack Lighthouse is located on Holy Island, and is Anglesey’s most westerly point, lying some three miles to the west of Holyhead. The cliffs at South Stack support large colonies of seabirds and it is possible to see them from the RSPB’s Ellin’s Tower observatory. The area has an amazing seascape, with magnificent views of the Llyn Peninsula and Bardsey Island. It is even possible to see Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains on a clear day! The Lighthouse was completed in 1809 and is sited 41 metres (135 ft) above the sea on South Stack. Its lamp tower is 28 m (92 ft) tall and the lighthouse complex covers seven acres. There are over 390 stone steps and 10 metal steps down to the footbridge. I took this image early in February ‘26 on a very cold and windy day, the sun made a veiled appearance underneath the storm clouds!
