Black Nore Lighthouse

Black Nore Lighthouse was built on a coastal outcrop at Portishead.  Its purpose was to be a navigation aid for shipping heading for the port of Avonmouth or the River Avon.  There is no vehicular access to it – the lighthouse can only be accessed by footpath.   Links to the coastal path at Black Nore are available at the junction of Glenwood Rise & Nore Road and at the northern end of the cul-de-sac called Pinecroft.
