EDITORS COMMENTS
Standing sentinel over the rugged Cornish coastline, Trevose Head Lighthouse casts its beam out to sea on a dark and atmospheric night. Captured by James O. Davies for Historic England, this stunning photograph showcases the lighthouse's imposing presence above Stincking Cove, its light piercing through the gloom like a beacon of hope. As the clock strikes midnight, the world is bathed in an otherworldly silence, broken only by the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. The sky above is a deep shade of indigo, with clouds drifting lazily across it like wisps of cotton wool. The lighthouse itself stands tall and proud, its white tower glowing softly in contrast to the darkness that surrounds it. This image is not just a snapshot of a beautiful location - it's a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Built in 1847 to guide mariners safely into harbour, Trevose Head Lighthouse has been standing watch over this stretch of coast for nearly two centuries. And as we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful scene, we're reminded of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
