Description

White-washed clock-tower lighthouse on a rubble plinth designed to appear as loose rocks. Round tapering 3-stage tower, swept towards base. At the top is a polygonal balcony cantilevered on brackets with balustrading. Rising from the centre is a square-section cupola bearing a clock to each face, above which is a moulded capstone and dome, the latter supporting a finial with ship emblem. Facing S is a plain boarded door, partly cut in. Narrow rectangular 4-pane windows aligned above to 2nd and 3rd stages. Same arrangement of windows to E, N, and W sides of tower. Above the doorway is a gold-coloured metal plaque with scrolled edges. It records that the lighthouse is to the memory of Captain RF Scott and his faithful companions, who sailed from the Port of Cardiff on June 15th 1910 to locate the South Pole. They laid down their lives in the Antarctic region in March 1912.

No access to interior at time of inspection (27/3/01).
