1. Title: "Burnham-on-Sea Lighthouse: A Timeless Guardian of the Somerset Coast" 2. Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, England, stands the historic Burnham-on-Sea Lighthouse. This photograph, captured by renowned photographer Peter Williams for Historic England, showcases the exterior view of the lighthouse from the western side. 3. Built in 1832, the Burnham-on-Sea Lighthouse, also known as the "Burnham Low Lighthouse" or "Lighthouse on Legs," is a testament to the rich maritime history of this charming seaside town. With its distinctive design, the lighthouse is easily recognizable, featuring a tall, tapering wooden tower supported by four sturdy legs. 4. The photograph reveals the lighthouse's intricate details, from the ornate ironwork adorning the base to the intricately patterned windows that illuminate the tower. The weathered wood, worn by the salty sea breeze, adds to its character, making it a beloved landmark for both locals and visitors alike. 5. The scene is further enhanced by the tranquil, golden sandy beach that stretches out before the lighthouse, dotted with colorful beach umbrellas and sunbathers. The gentle waves lap at the shore, creating a soothing rhythm that echoes the lighthouse's constant vigil. 6.
