National Trust South Foreland Lighthouse

A wonderful treat during the walk of the cliffs.We got coffee but they offer a great variety of tea.The carrot cake was fabulous and the flapjack.

We had the chance to visit the light house on the weekend during the summer holidays. Wasn't overly busy. Joined in the tour of the lighthouse. Which was great and got to know about the history behind the building and location.

What a beautiful place! Happened to be wandering past and the kind gentlemen in the foyer welcomed us with a little bit of history and interesting facts. Well worth a visit!

It was a perfect, bright, sunny day when I visited.I was sick the day before but it all cleared up on the white cliffs of Dover as I gazed upon the gloriously picturesque views.This vantage point was the ideal spot to take it all in. The clean air, the light ocean breeze and the eye candy.They have family sized benches to sit and recover after the somewhat steep climb you would have to make to get here, as well as a tea room where you can get all the refreshments you might need.I would highly recommend this as a day out. On the right day, it's absolutely spectacular. It almost feels like a trip abroad. At one point, my phone even got confused and declared welcome to France"!"

The halfway point of the walk from and back to the National Trust visitor center.Beautifully kept building and surrounding grounds. Good facilities here with a gift shop, cafe, toilets. Plenty of picnic benches, deck chairs and a lawn to sit on. The cafe is at the back of the lighthouse and was extremely busy during my visit. The gift shop sells snack, drinks and is where you obtain tickets for the timed guided tours.There were about 8 people in my group which is about right so you can move freely through the lighthouse. The knowledgeable and friendly guides give excellent history and information. The tour work through the building from the generator room right to the top where you can take pictures from the platform outside.A very interactive tour and you are encouraged to examine some of the features in more detail.

Scenic lighthiuse with teahouse. Better reserve if you want to do the guided tour on a Sunday. The teahouse is nice, busy on weekends and has a lovely, quirky range of old mismatched cups and teapots. The cream tea is good, but not excellent. Sunny garden and views of France on a good day. Some old-fashioned children games in the outside area.

A Captivating and Charming LighthouseLoved discovering this gem along the Dover cliff walk. With breathtaking ocean views, picnic benches, water refills, and a delightful tea room offering snacks, it's the perfect stop to rejuvenate and immerse yourself in nature's beauty. A must-visit spot for all wanderers.

Nice tea room and toilets here. It’s about a 45 min walk to get here from the national trust white cliffs car park
