Rathlin West Light, Antrim

Rathlin West Light is an early 20th-century lighthouse, built into the cliff face at Crockantirrive Point on Rathlin Island, County Antrim. It is within the townland of Kebble, in the civil parish of Rathlin Island. It began operation in March 1919. The lighthouse is uniquely designed with the lantern room positioned at the bottom of the tower, so that the light sits below the frequent low-hanging clouds and fog. It is within the council area of Causeway Coast and Glens.
