Easier than most lighthouses to climb up to the light. First class tour guide, lots of great info and well explained. Very enjoyable and worth the £3.50 entrance fee More

We caught the bus to Niton and tried to walk to the light house. What a mistake. The only way we could see to get there was across a field. Not ideal in a pair of sandals. We were very disappointed. More

It's on the south side of the Island and the walk to the lighthouse doesn't take too long to complete. Best to check if it's open before making the journey, as with all lighthouses which are open to the public from time to time. The tour itself is interesting and informative, and is operated by volunteers. Recommended. More
