The Old Lighthouse is a historic Grade II building, recently having celebrated its centenary. It was opened by His Royal Majesty the Prince of Wales in 1904 and it was got ready in 3 years and survived the two world wars before being decommissioned in 1960. For so many years it had guided the various vessels sailing in the English Channel. Access to it is very easy either by A 259 or RH&D Railway to Dungeness.
