New Hardback
GUIDING LIGHTS for centuries, lighthouses have helped mariners avoid danger and bring them to safe harbours. They are beacons of hope and the men who risked their lives to save others are recognised as heroes. The rocky shores of the British Isles are graced with many spectacular lighthouses, which inspire admiration for their builders and their keepers who faced great challenges including ferocious gales, long periods of quiet maintenance work and isolation, especially in the days before modern communications.
This book explores all this and more as the author writes from 27 years of personal experience plus research of records from earlier times.
“From the Lighthouse” is the second book from the author of the best-selling guide to “The Stone Circles of Cumbria” winner of an award at the Lakeland Book of the Year competition.
