Land’s End lighthouse fog alarm sounding every 13 seconds

Buy a set of earplugs, maritime charity advises those hoping to sleep near Cornwall’s Longships Lighthouse

“It will likely be an issue with the visibility sensor not functioning as expected. The hazard warning signal indicates diminished visibility in the area, such as fog.”

Seagull shit. I bet it’s seagull shit 😀

I'm surprised this isn't something that can be turned off remotely, the lighthouse is unmanned after all.

I get that the over-honking of the horn is annoying but this reads a little like people who buy houses near churchyards and then whine about the bell ringing.

You live near a lighthouse; it may make noise, and that's the point.

Their objection is that it has been stuck on, day and night, even in clear conditions.
