Nash Point

Nash Point
The two lighthouses at Nash Point on the Bristol Channel between Barry and Porthcawl were built in 1831-31 after the the loss of a ship called 'The Frolic' which was wrecked on the Nash Sands in March 1831 with the loss of about 78 lives. Although no longer in use the eastern lighthouse is now open to visitors and the fog horn has been restored and, although currently out of use awaiting repairs, is normally sounded once a month.

More details and a video of the fog horn in action can be found here: nashpoint.co.uk/the-fog-signal
