A lighthouse has existed in some form atop Foulness cliff since 1669. Sir John Clayton organised the Cromer Lighthouse construction, which cost £3000 to build. However, due to the high running costs, the lighthouse could not be kept running and fell into disrepair. In 1866, the original lighthouse was swallowed by the sea after a landslide.

The current lighthouse was built in 1833 and is still functioning. Although the tower is not open to the public, you can easily visit the grounds.
