England’s Independent Lighthouse

By Linda Tancs

The oldest working light on the Norfolk Coast and the only independently operated lighthouse in the U.K. is Happisburgh Lighthouse. The red and white-banded structure is 85 feet tall and its lantern is 134 feet above sea level with a range of 18 miles. There are 96 open steps up to the service room and 16 steep steps to the lantern, which are enclosed. Aside from public open days, private tours can be arranged. Book early to avoid disappointment.
