It's been a landmark on the coastline for many years, directing seafarers to security, and now it's a mini museum!

You may also see a seal! The lighthouse and Visitor centre have actually lots of displays that give an explanation for reputation for the lighthouse, and also provide information regarding the wildlife that is surrounding is found. You can rise the 137 steps towards the Lantern area into the tower, which offers dazzling views over the North East coast of England if you are feeling courageous.
