Flamborough lighthouse to re-open for tours
Flamborough lighthouse will welcome people next week for the first time since the start of the pandemic
Flamborough lighthouse will re-open for tours next week for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
Operated as a partnership between Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Trinity House, the twenty-minute tours offer views of the coast. Visitors climb the 119 steps to the top of the lighthouse to enjoy the coastline.
The lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic, as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington.
The lighthouse will be open at weekends from Saturday 26th March until the end of September, and will also be open for tours during school holidays on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Tours will operate every 30 minutes, in groups of up to 15 people, and there is no need to book in advance.
Visitors should wear sensible footwear (no flip flops) and should consider any medical conditions before embarking on the climb and descent. Participants must be at least 1.1m tall in order to be able to take the tour.
It is also possible to pre-book private group tours, and school bookings.
