Nash Point, between Barry and Porthcawl on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast has two lighthouse towers. These were built in 1832 and were sited exactly 1000 feet apart being originally used to assist navigators to avoid the Nash Sandbank, a notorious shipping hazard. The lower west light was later dismantled leaving just the tower; the east light remains in use. The lighthouse was the last one to be manned in Wales, being automated in 1998.
