Flamborough Head Lighthouses

The main Flamborough lighthouse is the new lighthouse, right on the tip of Flamborough Head. It is a traditional-style, white-washed lighthouse, with a tall, conical tower. There is also an earlier lighthouse at Flamborough a little further inland.

The new (current) lighthouse is easily accessible:

• Drive through the village, for about 1 mile, following the signs for Flamborough Head.



• There is a large car park here, right by the current lighthouse itself. There are toilets and refreshments (refreshments not available in winter months). You can also access the coastal walks and bays at Flamborough Head from here.



• The older lighthouse is just a short walk back up the road, from here

This was a very necessary spot for a lighthouse, with many shipwrecks over the years. Just a look at the rocky outcrops into the sea will suggest why! It is also a very busy spot, in the waters - the lighthouse is used to help direct ships going towards both Scarborough and Bridlington.
