Things to see in Lundy island
A few of the sights in the area. The Things to do page lists them all, with directions and official links.
Tibbetts
Admiralty signal station of 1909 on a high point of the island, now a Landmark Trust holiday cottage.
Old Light
Lighthouse of 1819-20 designed by Daniel Alexander; so high that cloud often hid it, it was replaced by two new lights in 1897.
Marisco Castle
Castle above the Landing Bay, named after the island's 13th-century lords; Henry III ordered a stone tower here.
