Old Higher Lighthouse, Portland Bill
Old Higher Lighthouse, Portland Bill
The first lighthouse on this spot started operations in 1716. The associated buildings are now several holiday apartments. It is famous for being owned by Marie Stopes in the 1920s. The Portland Bill lighthouse to the south started operating in 1906, presumably making this lighthouse redundant.
