    Tips

    December 27, 2023

    There has been a beacon here since the 17th century - part of a signal system to warn against a French invasion. In case the French fleet was seen, the fire was lit here first. Later, in the 1930s, a radar station was built here to spot enemy aircraft.



    The current beacon was built in 2008 and is 16.4 feet (5 m) tall. No longer a spot to watch out for a French invasion but instead a perfect vantage point to admire spectacular sunsets!

      Amazing views over the Moors. Can be a bit windy.
