Touted as the oldest working lighthouse in Britain, St. Nicholas Chapel in North Devon is perched on Lantern Hill overlooking Ilfracombe’s historic harbor. As its name suggests, the structure is named for St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. The chapel dates back to 1321 as a place of worship for seafarers; the beacon was added in the 15th century to guide shipping into the harbor. The iconic landmark is open from Eastertide to the end of September.
