Dungeness Lighthouse on the Dungeness Headland started operation on 20 November 1961. Its construction was prompted by the building of Dungeness nuclear power station, which obscured the light of its predecessor (dating from 1904) which, though decommissioned, remains standing. The new lighthouse (the fifth on the site) is constructed of precast concrete rings; its pattern of black and white bands is impregnated into the concrete. It remains in use today, monitored and controlled from the Trinity House Operations and Planning Centre at Harwich, Essex.

  • Le phare de Dungeness est un phare situé sur le cap de Dungeness, dans le Romney Marsh, une zone de basse-terre du comté du Kent en Angleterre. Il a remplacé le vieux phare de Dungeness. Ce phare est géré par la Trinity House Lighthouse Service de Londres, l'organisation de l'aide maritime des côtes de l'Angleterre. Il est maintenant protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de Grade II*. (fr)
  • Il faro di Dungeness (Dungeness lighthouse, in inglese) sull'omonima lingua, punto più meridionale della costa del Kent. (it)
  • Dungeness Lighthouse (de vuurtoren van Dungeness) staat op een landtong in het uiterste zuiden van het Engelse graafschap Kent. De vuurtoren fungeert als oriëntatiemiddel voor schepen die door het Nauw van Calais varen. Bovendien geeft hij het uiteinde van de voortdurend aangroeiende landtong aan. Deze landmassa, die vooral uit zand en kiezelsteen bestaat, vormt een gevaar voor de scheepvaart. De installatie wordt beheerd vanuit het Planning Centre van Trinity House in Harwich in Essex. Trinity House beheert navigatiemiddelen voor Engeland, Wales, Gibraltar en de Kanaaleilanden. De huidige toren heeft vier voorgangers gehad. (nl)
