The Lizard Lighthouse Heritage Centre
Take a tour of the lighthouse, sound the fog signal, learn about lighthouse keepers and their families, build a lighthouse, find out about the weather and so much more at mainland UK's most southerly visitor attraction.
At the most southerly tip of mainland Britain sits the twin-towered Lizard lighthouse. The lighthouse was commissioned in 1752 and for over 250 years has provided a welcoming landfall light to mariners crossing the Atlantic Ocean, bound for the English Channel.
The Trinity House lighthouse was awarded a grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to develop its Heritage Centre to provide benefits for the local and wider community through the provision of new interpretation displays and educational material.
