This is a very smart harbour lighthouse. It was a windy day the day I visited Newhaven. There is a nice circular walk you can follow at Newhaven Harbour. The lighthouse is well maintained and is still lit up at night I believe. It will guide many vessels into the safety of the harbour. Well worth coming to see it.

Leuk om even langs te gaan

Très joli petit port de plaisance ou nous sommes allés en tramway depuis le centre de Edinburgh et où nous avons pu apprécier un très bon fish and chips et une délicieuse chowder au haddock fumé 👌
