Access
Due to its age and layout, we regret that disabled access to Smeaton’s Tower is very limited.
For your safety we ask visitors to note that the lighthouse contains 93 steps, steep ladders, low ceilings and small openings.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
We regret that food and drink are not allowed inside the lighthouse.
