In a statement, it said: “Anyone living in the area may have noticed that, for the past six days, the Longships Lighthouse has been sounding its foghorn every 13 seconds … all day and all night.
Buy a set of earplugs, maritime charity tells anyone hoping to sleep near Longships Lighthouse off Land’s End.
The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) Gwennap Head, a maritime charity, said on social media that the horn had been sounding “all day, all night” and “a set of earplugs might be a good investment”.
Another visitor said the alarm was “noisy”, adding that it would “probably keep me awake”, but a visitor staying nearby said they could not hear the noise from their room.
Trinity House, which manages more than 60 lighthouses across the UK, said there was an issue with the “audible hazard warning signal” on Longships, whichit planned to fix.
