Pendeen Lighthouse is dramatically positioned on a jagged stretch of coastline in Cornwall and is a good place to look out for seals, kestrels and buzzards. The light in the lighthouse used to be lit by an oil Argand lamp which was replaced by an electric lamp in the 1920s. This can now be seen in the Trinity House National Lighthouse Centre in Penzance. The light has been automated since 1995 but the position of the lighthouse, despite its technology, still creates an aura of romanticism around it.
