Lizard Lighthouse is a fully working lighthouse, first established in 1619. The distinctive two white towers that it is known for today were built in 1751 by private entrepreneur Thomas Fonnereau, and first lit on 22 August of that year. Trinity House gained control of the lights in 1771 and continues to look after its operation to this day. It became electrified in 1924 and then fully automated in 1998. It has a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal if conditions are misty.

We really enjoyed our stay at WOLF rock. It was a 60th birthday treat for my wife. She could not stop saying how much she was enjoying it. The weather was perfect and we were able to tour round cornwall. The accommodqtion was perfect, always warm and never cold. We would have liked to have access to the lighthouse but understood this was not possible.

Excellent stay again. Nice new bedroom furniture and freshly painted walls. Slight problem with the heating beyond anybody’s control but addressed quickly by housekeeper and rural retreats. Thoroughly recommend staying here.
