Now, the historic lighthouse must change its traditional crimson hue to green to align with international maritime regulations. Harbourmaster Captain Jessica Tyson revealed that the lighthouse’s current bright red colour violates the standards set by the International Organisation for Marine Aids to Navigation. The lighthouse, which stands 22 feet tall with a distinctive hexagonal cast iron structure and a green cupola roof, serves as a critical navigational aid at the entrance to Watchet’s harbour and marina.
