Bishop Rock is a small rock at the westernmost tip of the Isles of Scilly in south west England known for its lighthouse, and listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest island in the world.
Containing room for nothing more than the uninhabited 45 metre tall lighthouse, the rock acts as the barrier between the British Isles and the Atlantic Ocean. The original lighthouse was begun in 1847, but was washed away before it could be completed. The present building was completed in 1858.
