Sightseeing

An iconic Plymouth landmark, this lighthouse was one of four built to mark the Eddystone Reef, a treacherous group of rocks that lie 14 miles south west of Plymouth between 1759 and 1882. Damaged by the sea, and no longer suitable to hold the latest lighting technology, the lighthouse was moved to Plymouth Hoe in 1884. Climb the 93 steps to the top for fantastic views over Plymouth Sound.
