Whiteford Point Lighthouse is located off the coast at Whiteford Point near Whiteford Sands, on the Gower Peninsula, south Wales. ==Description==
It is an unusual cast-iron lighthouse built in 1865 to a design by John Bowen (1825-1873) of Llanelli, by the Llanelli Harbour and Burry Navigation Commissioners to mark the shoals of Whiteford Point, replacing an earlier piled structure of 1854, of which nothing remains. It is the only wave-swept cast-iron tower of this size in Britain. The tower is high and stands just above low-water level. The base is about in diameter and rises gracefully to a diameter of at lantern level. A pitched stone apron surrounds the base of the lighthouse.
