Portland Bill Lighthouse reopened in 2015 as a visitor centre. You can now climb to the top of the lighthouse and experience breathtaking views over the Dorset coastline. The former lighthouse keepers' dwellings have displays and exhibitions so you can learn about the history of the lighthouse and the area.
