Absolutely brilliant idea and a great bit of fun, we managed to squeeze three of us in, but it recommends two capacity. Don't forget your pound coin

Stunning view from the car park, lovely walk along a properly surfaced road to the lighthouse then, as you round the headland, the great reveal. The lighthouse comes into view, right in front of you. very interesting tour guide, Hugh, lots of stories of the human endeavour of being a lighthouse keeper in the early days. Solitude, subsistence and tenacity. Finally, the reason for visiting, the light. Brilliant!!

Fascinating museum packed with unusual and interesting artifacts. Housed in an old Grammar School which in itself is also interesting, with original "graffiti" scored in the wooden panelling by former schoolboys.There is also a delightful garden with an exhibit of historic agricultural machinery housed under a covered barn. Volunteers lovingly maintain the equipment. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too! Recommended.

The Sherman which was recovered from the sea nearby has been restored and preserved to provide a reminder of Exercise Tiger and to ensure that we remember those brave men of all sides who fought and died for their flag and cause.
