Smeatons Tower is the third and most notable Eddystone Lighthouse. It marked a major step forward in the design of lighthouses. In use until 1877, it was largely dismantled and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe in the city of Plymouth, Devon where it now stands as a memorial to its designer, John Smeaton, the celebrated civil engineer.

Smeaton's Tower, Plymouth Hoe Number of views as of 6th May 2018 = 390. Smeaton's Tower is the upper part of John Smeaton's Eddystone Lighthouse, originally built in 1759 on the Eddystone Rocks, some 14 miles south of the city and port of Plymouth, South Devon, England. The lighthouse was dismantled in 1877 and moved, stone by stone, to Plymouth Hoe where it was rebuilt for all to see today. Plymouth Hoe is perhaps best known as the site of the famous game of bowls played by Sir Francis Drake in 1588, whilst waiting for the tide to change before sailing out with the English fleet to engage the Spanish Armada.

Dog As Big As A Lighthouse This is our red cockapoo puppy laying on the grass in front of Plymouth Hoe Lighthouse, the perspective makes him look as tall as the lighthouse some way back in the distance.
