Its lantern and gallery are set atop the octagonal structure, which is attached to two keeper's houses. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. The site, which includes a lifesaver station operating since 1804 and a lifeboat station established in 1923, is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Cromer, 11 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is a navigational aid on the North Norfolk coast, accompanying the landmark Cromer Pier and a historically significant lifeboat station.
