Situated at the eastern end of the entrance to Falmouth harbour, St. Anthony's Head was built in 1835 to warn ships away from the Manacle Rocks. There is apparaently a road (A3708) down to it, but this was taken from the little ferry that plies its trade between St. Mawes and Falmouth.
The foghorn visible behind the light in the two photos above, was added in 1954 and the white painted, stone lighthouse was automated in 1987.
