            BERRY HEAD IS SAID TO BE THE SHORTEST LIGHTHOUSE IN GREAT BRITAIN, BUT ALSO ONE OF THE HIGHEST, BEING ONLY FIVE METRES TALL, BUT 58 METRES ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL. IT SITS ON TOP OF LIMESTONE CLIFFS ON BERRY HEAD, A COASTAL HEADLAND AT THE SOUTHERN END OF TORBAY, TO THE SOUTHEAST OF BRIXHAM IN DEVON.
IT IS ALSO SAID TO BE THE DEEPEST LIGHTHOUSE IN THE BRITISH ISLES. ORIGINALLY THE OPTIC WAS TURNED BY A WEIGHT DRIVEN MECHANISM. THE WEIGHTS DROPPED 45M DOWN A SHAFT.  AN ELECTRIC MOTOR IS NOW USED.  THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1906 AND AUTOMATED IN 1921. THE STATION WAS CONVERTED TO MAINS ELECTRICITY IN 1994. THE LIGHT HAS A RANGE OF 19 NAUTICAL MILES, GIVING A DOUBLE WHITE FLASH EVERY 15 SECONDS.
