This is surely one of the most photographed features in the region. In 1895 during the building of the lighthouse, a spring was tapped to provide fresh water for the workers.
The water from the spring was carried along the narrow wooden channel to the wooden water wheel. This rudimentary system was used until 1928.
Since that date, deposits of salts have steadily encrusted the wheel, encasing it in stone.
