Additional Information

Coastguard House was love at first sight for owners Tracy and Robert Reece who desperately want to come and live here and will do when circumstances are right, so may we suggest that you take advantage and enjoy a relaxing break before they settle.

Penmon Lighthouse, or Trwyn Du Lighthouse, to give it its correct name, was built in 1837 and was probably built as a direct result of the Rothsay Castle disaster which occurred 6 years earlier on 17th August 1831 when 130 passengers and crew lost their lives when travelling from Liverpool to the Menai Straits in atrocious weather.
