Portland Bill Lighthouse United Kingdom
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this fantastic drone video of the Portland Bill lighthouse in Southwestern England, compliments of Drone Eye Perspective. The lighthouse's namesake is a small island connected via sand bar to the mainland just south of Weymouth in County Dorset, on the English Channel coast. Completed in 1906, the 135 ft. tall (41 m) structure replaced two older lighthouses, which remain standing but are not used. Automated since 1996, the lighthouse protects ships moving through some of the UK's most dangerous waters.
