The working lighthouse was established from a beacon in the 6th century to a grand tower built by the ‘greatest knight that ever lived’ William Marshall to generations of devoted light keepers protecting lives at sea.
Lighthouses have a magic and mysticism of their own, none more so than the 13th century Hook Lighthouse.
