Bidston Lighthouse

About

Bidston Lighthouse was established in 1771 and re-built in 1873, further from the sea it lit than any other lighthouse in the world.

Story

There has been a lighthouse on Bidston Hill since about 1771, when the first Bidston Lighthouse was built, further from the sea it lit than any other lighthouse in the world. The lamp room featured a massive parabolic reflector, 12 feet in diameter, developed at the Bidston Signals Station by William Hutchinson, Liverpool Harbour Master and one-time privateer.

The present Bidston Lighthouse and Cottages were built by Mersey Docks and Harbour Board in 1873, and operated until 1913. The building is Grade-II listed and privately owned.

A lovely place for a walk and some of the most interesting people you will every meet own the lighthouse.
Lots to like about this lovely lighthouse , and a great guide.
It's a pleasant walk over from Tam O'Shanter car park with views along the way. There's no access to the lighthouse though.

Hugely interesting landmark , in a great location which is good for walking dogs . Steeped in history too. Lovely owners . Thank you for our visit !
Great area for kids to explore, dog walks
beautiful views great mini hike
Lovely little historic spot. Check their website for details of when it's open. Couple who led the tours were really friendly. Only downside is the height restriction for visiting the top of the lighthouse which might result in a grumpy toddler!
