Take the little railway to Dungeness, have lunch or a break in the excellent cafe and then climb up the lighthouse for a stunning view. The welcome in the lighthouse was excellent. The lady looked after my napsack and checked that we had our camera and off we climbed. The guy at the top welcomed us after the 169 steps... More

I was sorry to read the negative reviews as we had a wonderful day when we were married there in September this year. The ceremony took place on the first level and was restricted to 30 people which was made very clear at time of booking. My husband arrived early and Jill had already decorated the stairs and the lower... More

There have been so many wonderful happy weddings at the Lighthouse it was greatly saddening to read this review. It is a fantastic location that can be seen from aircraft with an incredible panoramic view over the English Channel and the Kentish countryside. The Wedding Licence does restrict the number of guests on the top gallery to only 10, although... More

We took the miniature steam railway to Dungeness station and the lighthouse is a just short walk away. Not particularly attractive from the outside (painted black), but we planned to to go to the top to hopefully see some nice views. On entering the lighthouse, we were met by a grumpy woman at the till who immediately said that my... More
