Portland Bill
Portland Bill is a narrow promontory (or bill) of Portland stone, which forms the most southerly part of Isle of Portland, and hence the county of Dorset, England.
The Bill is an important way point for coastal traffic, and hence three lighthouses have been built to protect shipping, from its strong tidal race and shallow reef in particular. The most recent lighthouse is the distinctively white– and red–coloured Portland Bill lighthouse, which was built in 1906 and is 35 metres (115 ft) high.
Nearby Pulpit Rock was formed due to quarrying, and remains a popular tourist attraction, as is the famous lighthouse.
