St Anthony Head and Lighthouse
St Anthony's Lighthouse is situated on St Anthony Head, on the eastern side of the entrance to Falmouth harbour. It was built in 1835 by the Chief Engineer of Trinity House to guide shipping away from the Manacles Rocks south of Falmouth Harbour (
Link Trinity House). It is a Grade II listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1136282

St Anthony's lighthouse was featured in the UK version of Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock, as "Fraggle Rock Lighthouse" in external scenes.
