Hi Anney-Marie! MIght I suggest that when deep in Devon countryside you're unlikely to find any ATMs! As for not having a card reader, they're expensive to hire and the lighthouse is only open a few days a week, partly because of staffing problems, and less in the Spring and Autumn and not at all in the winter, expect for a few days at New Year. Somebody tried having a food and drink kiosk a couple of years ago, but it didn't pay. Sometimes there are not that many people at the carpark and even at busiest times, many people bring their own picnics. When you come from a large town or city, it's easy to forget that the country is, indeed, a different country, with no coffee shops round every corner. It took me a while, after we moved down here! In good boy scout tradition, it really is best to 'be prepared'!!

Please does anyone know if there is access to the car park 24 hours a day. We are planning to visit the lighthouse at dusk after a day out somewhere else, so we can see light in all its glory and would hate to make the trip only for a gate to be stopping us from parking

How Far is it to walk from the Car Park to the Lighthouse
