There is plenty of light on the Western horizon but all of it is coming from the dying sun and none of it is coming from the distant lighthouse which, sadly, has already died. Advances in maritime safety and navigational techniques meant that the beautiful structure was no longer needed to announce the dangers of this rocky coast. The light was finally extinguished in 2012 but the local community wasn't ready to say goodbye, so bought the lighthouse and - after much refurbishment - it is scheduled to open to the public this year.
