Smeaton's Tower is a memorial to the civil engineer John Smeaton, the designer of the third and most notable Eddystone lighthouse. A major advance in lighthouse design, Smeaton's structure was in use from 1759 to 1877, until erosion of the ledge on which it was built forced new construction. The tower was largely dismantled and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe in Plymouth, Devon where it stands today.

Smeaton's Tower is one of the most iconic landmarks in the whole of the South West. Built on the Eddystone reef in 1759, the tower was moved to its current place on the Hoe in 1880 as the structure was unstable. Today, it stands at almost 72 feet (22 m) high and enjoys panoramic views over Plymouth and the sea. Visitors can climb the 93 steps to the lantern room, which would once have protected ships coming into shore. The tower 10am-5pm. Tickets cost £4 for adults.
