Om
Hurtige fakta: Dets lysstråler når 26 sømil ud over Atlanterhavet og fungerer som en vigtig guide for maritim navigation. Fyrtårnet blev automatiseret i 1980, men har stadig sit originale Fresnel-linsesystem, en sjældenhed for en sådan lokalitet.
Højdepunkter: Besøgende kan klatre de 92 trin til toppen, hvor en panoramaudsigt over den vilde atlanterhavskyst udfolder sig og viser klipper, der stejlt falder ned i brændende bølger. Fyrvogterens hus fungerer nu som en hyggelig café og tilbyder varme hjemmebagte scones og en betagende havudsigt, hvilket skaber en unik blanding af historie og komfort.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes as the path and steps can be uneven and slippery when wet.
- Bring a camera for unparalleled cliff and ocean views from the lighthouse top.
- Try the cafe’s signature scones for a local treat with your visit.
- Visit early in the afternoon for the soft lighting ideal for photography and fewer visitors.
