Portland Bill Lighthouse

For nearly 300 years a lighthouse has stood on Portland Bill to guide vessels heading for Portland and Weymouth and acting as a waymark for vessels navigating in the English Channel. A red sector light warns mariners of the hazardous Shambles Bank lying three miles offshore. Tours of Portland Bill Lighthouse are organised by AMH Support Services under licence from the Corporation of Trinity House.

Me and my partner visited last week on a beautiful sunny day, lighthouse was very easy to find, beautiful scenery. Car park nearby was fairly priced, plenty of spaces available. Due to arriving late on the site we were unable to visit the shop underneath the lighthouse although the place was neatly presented from outside. I believe the option to climb up the lighthouse wasn't available due to the current corona virus pandemic. Upon exploring the surrounding area the entire site was litter free and well maintained, pulpit rock was also a very short walk from the lighthouse which was an interesting monument to visit. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and am planning to return with my friends at a later date, definitely recommend!
