The Old Lighthouse is an Historic Grade 11
building, listed in 1992 by Shepway District Council, recently celebrating its
centenary. Opened with great ceremony by His Royal Majesty the Prince of Wales
in 1904 after a 3 year build, it survived two world wars before decommission in
1960. For 56 years it provided a welcome landlight to vessels negotiating the
perils of the English Channel. The Lighthouse features in Nickolaus Pevsner's
famous "Buildings of Kent".
From
the 140 foot high building visitors can experience the unique panorama of the
landscape of this unspolit area. To the South the view streches right across
the English Channel towards France. Looking inland the vast Dungeness Nature
Reserve is clearly seen.
