Tips

Godrevy Lighthouse is perched on Godrevy Island. Its light has been warning seafarers of Stone Reef which reaches across St Ives Bay since 1859.

Such is the power of the sea that builders were left stuck on the island during its construction. Before the 1930s when the light became automatic, the lighthouse keepers lived in the cottages on the island. You can now also see the solar panels that power the light.

Godrevy Lighthouse was the inspiration for Virginia Woolf's novel, 'To the Lighthouse'. Although the book was set in the Isle of Skye, Woolf spent her childhood summers in St Ives at Talland House, right across the Bay from Godrevy.
