This 39-meter-tall lighthouse stands proudly on the coast of North Yorkshire, its bright red and white stripes a beacon of warning to ships navigating the rocky shores. Built in 1803, the lighthouse has guided mariners safely through the treacherous waters for over two centuries, its powerful light visible from up to 23 nautical miles out to sea. Today, visitors can climb the 129 steps to the top for breathtaking views of the North Sea and the picturesque town of Scarborough.
Worth a little stroll out to see the Scarborough Belle statue and lighthouse. Plenty of seating to watch the boats coming and going and a lovely view of Scarborough sea front and beyond.
Beautiful place to sit and watch the harbour
Nice little lighthouse.
Was certainly a bracing walk out along to this lighthouse today, barely a handful of folk braving it in the biting cold wind. Worth it for the views of all Scarborough and its harbour has to offer, from the Grand Hotel to the Castle and to St Mary's. There is also the graceful Diving Belle sculpture here at the foot of the lighthouse, facing out to sea. She is one of a pair of sculptures, the other partner one is over on North Bay and is called the Bathing Belle. You also have the 1914 Vickers gun here close to the lighthouse. The gun was raised in 1982 from the S S Hornsund wreck which was torpedoed on 23 September 1917. Lighthouse was not open when I visited.
Great visit. Has a good view of the sea and the boats
Amazing view of this from the beach. Beautiful walk to get to it as well. Recommend visiting if in the area.
Good for kids
