Simplistic and in a way typical British lighthouse - a great target for sunset/sunrise photos.

The light was first lit on 19 April 1894.[6] Up until World War II the lighthouse was lit by gas, supplied from the gas main and stored in adjacent tanks.[3] To begin with it displayed an occulting light (eclipsed twice in quick succession every twenty seconds) with a visible range of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).[7] The rotating optic was installed in 1908 when the light characteristic was changed to group flashing (twice every ten seconds).[8] Its drive mechanism was wound daily by the Ashford Family, on whose land it was built, until 1941 when the light was converted to automatic electric operation.[3] In 2000 the winding and drive mechanisms were replaced by electric motors.[9]

An adventurous path through high hedges leads to this lighthouse. A bank is nearby, making it ideal for a break.
