ONE of Jersey’s most photographed landmarks will open to visitors over the next three months.
Tours of Corbière Lighthouse are available until October, with Blue Badge tour guides from Jersey Uncovered leading them, telling the story of the lighthouse and answering questions.
The lighthouse celebrated its 150th anniversary this year and several events were arranged to mark the occasion.
The tower was floodlit for a month, a plaque was unveiled by the Lieutenant-Governor, and a 3D scan of the interior of the tower – created by Jersey War Tours – was uploaded onto Ports of Jersey’s website.
Harbourmaster 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.”
The two-hour tour will contain an insight into the Island’s rich maritime history and the people and stories associated with the lighthouse.
As the site still contains essential navigational equipment and is dangerous without supervision, visitors are asked to book a place on an organised tour.
