Great to visit and walk the cliffs and beach. Open to public on selected days when it's possible to climb stairs to top!
Visit the oldest working lighthouse on the Norfolk Coast and the only independently operated lighthouse in the UK. The lighthouse is open to the public on occasional Sundays and Bank Holidays throughout the summer when you can climb the 112 steps to the lantern. See website for opening times.
The first thing you need to know about Happisburgh is how to say it - it is pronounced “haze-bruh”. Once you have that sorted you can enjoy this relatively peaceful sandy beach. As well as a fantastic stretch of sand Happisburgh beach is home to the iconic red and white candy-striped lighthouse. Dating back to 1791 this is apparently the oldest working lighthouse in the UK.
