Portland Bill Lighthouse has been standing majestically on the Southern tip of the Isle of Portland for over One Hundred and Twelve years. The Lighthouse, which is Grade II listed, replaced two previous lighthouse which were in use between 1716 and 1906. At a height of 41 metres (135 ft), the distinctive red and white tower first shone it’s famous four flashes of light every twenty seconds on 11th January 1906 and since that day it has guided passing vessels through the hazardous waters around Portland Bill as well as acting as a way mark for ships navigating the English Channel. Quite amazing when you think this iconic Lighthouse even saw the Titanic sail past on its first sea trials from Belfast to Southampton and back.
