Lighthouse
The lighthouse on the foreshore at Rampside was built in 1875. It was number 4 of 13 leading light navigation beacons built in the late 19th century, which aligned to guide vessels safely into the port at Barrow-in-Furness - and the only one of these surviving. The slender lighthouse, known as "The Needle", is about 20m tall and built from red and yellow bricks. The lighthouse is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
