During stormy weather this Cornish lighthouse is exposed to the full fury of the Atlantic and was originally manned by a rotation of three keepers who would have lived, two at a time, in the adjoining cottage which you can see in the picture….in the 1930s it became automatic, fuelled by solar power since 1995…..It was this lighthouse that inspired Virginia Wolfe to write her novel ‘To the Lighthouse’….Please enjoy.
