06/09/2005 Entry: "Lizard Lightouse Open to Public Tours"

Britain's most southerly Lighthouse Opens
An 18th century lighthouse on the most southerly point of mainland Britain has opened for public tours (from May) as part of the national SeaBritain 2005 celebrations. Lizard Lighthouse in Cornwall has a light visible for 26 nautical miles: a precious aid for vessels crossing the Atlantic at night or during poor weather.

The lighthouse, on the South West Heritage Coast, hosts a visitor centre and is a site of special scientific interest for birdlife, fauna and plants. It opens daily until September 30 (excluding June 6-10) and admission costs £2.

A Trinity House website gives details of this and other lighthouses open to the public, including some you can stay in, and cruises aboard the support vessel THV Patricia.
