Overview

Unfortunately as I went out of season the Lighthouse was closed. We wandered around the grounds though and learnt about its uses through the years from the info boards. Very interesting. From looking around I'd say some parts of a tour would be inaccessible hence the 3 stars. Wheelchair accessible-ish, the paths are a little uneven, you can take your car to the top for dropping off or parking (only 3 disabled spaces up there). We walked (well I wheeled) up from the bottom car park, very smooth tarred road but very steep.

Transport & Parking

5

Plenty parking available and if you need to you can park in one of the 4 spaces up the top (3 for disabled access).

Access

I can only comment on the parts I could get into - the paths were fine but a little uneven. Getting to the bunker would be impossible for a wheelchair as there as a few steep stone steps.

Toilets

0

Not open so I couldn't test them.

Staff

0

Open access so no staff there.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Watch for the sheep on the way up/down. They made for a very funny road block, and definitely not scared of cars!
