St Margaret's Bay, England CT15 6HP
A remote, isolated, pristine-white, solid beacon; a place of innovation and scientific firsts, South Foreland lighthouse stands proud atop the White Cliffs of Dover. The Victorian tower has a unique history that has helped shape our world and influence our travel and our industrial and maritime heritage. Arrival is on foot across the beautiful White Cliffs and once there, enjoy the seemingly endless skies and the spectacular views of the Dover Strait, always busy with shipping. Take a guided tour of the tower to see where 5 generations of the Knott family kept watch over the light and the amazing original mechanism that flashed the light to a signature that was unique for over 100 miles. Outside, children can play in the grounds and enjoy some of the free games on offer, or even fly a kite. Mrs Knotts Tearoom offers a nostalgic retreat with traditional food and drink, served in 1950s-themed surroundings while the shop offers refreshments and souvenirs of your adventure.
