Start Point Lighthouse, South Hams, Devon — A Panoramic View at the Edge of the English Coast
Start Point is one of the most dramatic headlands on the south Devon coast — a long, narrow finger of schist rock that juts out into the English Channel from the South Hams, exposed on three sides to the open sea and to the weather systems that roll in from the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. The lighthouse that stands at its tip has been guiding ships safely past the headland since 1836, its light visible for up to 25 miles on a clear night, warning mariners away from the jagged rocks that extend beneath the surface of the water around the point. It is a place of extraordinary atmosphere: the sound of the sea on all sides, the wind that seems to blow constantly even on calm days elsewhere, the sense of standing at the very edge of England with nothing between you and the horizon but open water. This panoramic photography print was captured during an overnight stay at the location, allowing the full drama of both sunset and sunrise to be explored — the warm light of the evening sky catching the white tower of the lighthouse and the dark schist of the headland, the sea below shifting through shades of gold and blue, the whole scene composed in a sweeping panoramic format that does full justice to the extraordinary scale and openness of this remarkable stretch of the Devon coast. As wall art or home decor, it brings all of that drama and atmosphere directly into your home.
Whether you are drawn to the extraordinary drama of Start Point Lighthouse on its exposed Devon headland, the rare beauty of a South Hams sunset captured during an overnight stay, or the timeless quality of fine Devon coastal photography artwork, this piece makes a truly exceptional addition to any home — and an unforgettable gift for lovers of Devon, the South Hams, lighthouses, or the dramatic seascape landscapes of the English Channel coast.
