What visitors say

Superb attraction and well worth visiting if in the area. A little hairy going up if you dont have a head for heights but well worth the effort to get to the top. Interesting museum next to the lighthouse and a lovely garden/tea room. Glad i made the visit.

Staff are very kind, friendly and helpful. We climbed the 144 steps to the top to see the beautiful views, there's a museum situated downstairs and a shop. The cafe is out the back with very nice gardens. I would recommend this to anyone as it's well worth a visit, we had a great day.

Fantastic Museum with friendly informative staff. The spiral walk is worth the effort as, on a clear day, the view over the Humber Estuary is amazing.
