The Lighthouse in All Its Glory A proud symbol on the shingle shore.
Standing proud at almost 46 metres high, The Old Lighthouse is a truly iconic feature of the Dungeness skyline.

See the tower against blue skies, golden sunsets, and dramatic coastal clouds – every season brings a new perspective.
Inside the Tower Winding stairs and timeless stories.

You’ll also spot the Great Lens and the famous Sector Light – highlights of the journey up to the top. These glimpses into the interior will give you a feel for the craftsmanship and scale of the building before you arrive in person.

Our gallery features stunning shots of the English Channel, the surrounding Kent countryside, and the cuspate shingle ridges that make this part of the coastline so special.
