Built in 1790, this is the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia and still provides safe passage for ships around the treacherous Haisborough Sands. Today, the lighthouse is painted white with three red bands, making for a quirky photograph opportunity. It is the UK's only independently run lighthouse and is open to the public on certain days.

This beautiful lighthouse is the UK's only independently run lighthouse. I think they should pronounce it as #HappysBurg as it's much more upbeat and positive.
