Guided tours of the interior of Corbière Lighthouse are now available to book for the rest of the summer.
Guide group Jersey Uncovered will conduct the tours throughout August and September this year – tide dependent.
Many of the original brass fixtures and fittings inside the tower and generator room will be on display during the tours.
The lighthouse site also houses a radar station and is still used by mariners as a navigational aid today, both as a painted day mark and as a night-time warning sector light.

Harbour Master, Captain Bill Sadler said: “We have worked closely with Jersey Uncovered to set up this series of tours and we hope both islanders and visitors will enjoy viewing this iconic Jersey landmark, and finding out more about its rich history.”
As the site still contains essential navigational equipment and is dangerous without supervision, islanders are asked to only access the lighthouse through an organised tour which will allow safe, controlled access to both the interior and exterior of the building.
Tours can be booked through the Jersey Uncovered website.
