Withernsea Lighthouse Museum — Attraction in Withernsea

I visited here on 26th October and this light house was officially closed (out of season) but we were still able to gain access as the place was manned, which was very good as my daughter really wanted to go to the top of the light house. This is a museum at the base and in season also has a cafe and gift shop with a nice large grass garden at the rear that you can get service from the cafe at. Inside the lighthouse some old artifacts and information can be found before taking the 142 step to the top for a spectacular view of the tow and ocean. The stairs are steep and can be very tiring if your not able bodied but the do have a large step/platform in several places where you could rest.

The chap in the entrance was very interesting to talk to and I’m told that the attached cafe is the cheapest in the town. This I can’t verify but if the rest is anything to go by, I...

We thoroughly enjoyed this visit. £3 each for adults, lots of models of seafaring, ships and activities, lifeboat memorabilia, a long walk up the staircase to the top of the lighthouse, great views from the top. Local history in the cottage to the rear of the lighthouse, originally the keepers accommodation. Cafe in the rearmost room smashing drinks at very reasonable price. Nice cake too. Lovely garden to the rear with tables and chairs for enjoying your refreshments. Pet friendly as well. One of the outbuildings in the garden has been turned into an exhibition space. Currently holding a photographic exhibition of Pebbles and Poems, and a physical exhibition of embroidered works by a local artist. Exhibition items are for sale. All well...
