Gribbin Tower

The 84 feet high square beacon tower was erected by Trinity House in 1832 to distinguish the Gribbin from Dodman Point and St Anthony’s Head, and thus make navigation into Fowey and the harbours of St Austell Bay safer. It was never lit, but is painted in broad red and white bands as a daymark. It is a Grade II Listed Building. LinkExternal link
