Large carpark with separate area for camper vans. Payment is contactless unless you have prepaid. The toilets are free and clean. Decent footwear recommended if you intend to walk past the Lighthouse and amongst the stones. The Lobster Pot serves a good selection of food.
Great experience at Portland Bill lighthouse. The walks around the lighthouse are beautiful, and full of great coastline. The lighthouse itself is amazing, and we even did the guided tour to the top, which is a bargain £9 each for what you get. The tour was full of interesting history, and the views were stunning on the top! The cafe next door was great, and toilets were clean. Overall a great trip!
Such a beautiful spot and a lovely lighthouse. We visited both in the afternoon and then returned to see the sunset. There is a large car park right next to the lighthouse and you can have a lovely walk around the whole area. It is a beautiful spot and definitely worth a visit! We loved it!!!
Went to this place just to find what is was all about The weather was amazing blue skies sunny warm and not too many crowds of people There were free public toilets clean tidy and well maintained The lighthouse was all bright looked like it had been painted recently . Car park was little expensive £5 upwards depending on your stay There was a shop cafe and loads of places to climb up and over The cliff edge is steep so he careful if you have run away kids We had ice cream with a flake cost £6.95 for 2 The restaurant was I felt pricey and cafe take out chip at £6.50 so take a picnic and drinks with you if your watching your pennies The shop did cater for tourist so again depends on what you want from the shop Overall the day trip was well worth it and yes I would go again Go find out yourselves
Fascinating, great views from the top, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Takes about 30-40 minutes for a tour (you need to be part of a tour to ascend it, but it's free to enter just the shop part). The final set of stairs are very steep but there are hand holds to help, so as long as you're mobile you should be able to make it to the top
