Berry Head Lighthouse is an active lighthouse, located at the end Berry Head near Brixham in Devon. It was originally built in 1906, and was then automated and converted to run on acetylene in 1921, and was modernised in 1994 since then it has run on mains electricity.
The light has a range of 19nmi, giving a double white flash every 15 seconds.
Berry Head is reputedly the shortest lighthouse in Great Britain, but also one of the highest, being only 5m tall, but 58m above mean sea level.
It was also said to be the deepest because the optic was originally turned by a weight falling down a 45m deep shaft, though an electric motor is now used.
Semaphore signalling apparatus was on Berry Head before 1875 and acted as the Lloyds' Signal Station for Torbay.
