I visited here on 26th October and this light house was officially closed out of season but we were still able to gain access as the place was manned, which was very good as my daughter really wanted to go to the top of the light house. This is a museum at the base and in season also has a cafe and gift shop with a nice large grass garden at the rear that you can get service from the cafe at. Inside the lighthouse some old artifacts and information can be found before taking the 142 step to the top for a spectacular view of the tow and ocean. The stairs are steep and can be very tiring if your not able bodied but the do have a large step/platform in several places where you could rest. The final 21 steps are very steep like ladders and may be restrictive if your not able bodied. Its well worth a visit for the view for the top. A lovely place and friendly helpful staff.

What a fabulous look into the past and the history of this wonderful building. You can go all the way to the top, but it is a 144 step climb to the top and the last bit is a steep what I would call boat style staircase climb.  As you climb the stairs you can look down through the centre of the lighthouse all the way to ground level so don't try it if you're afraid of heights.  When you get to the top you can look out over Withernsea and the surrounding area for miles around.  This was the best value entertainment to keep the kids quiet for an hour that we spent money on all week.

I'm not really sure why we went here because myself and my 10yo freak out a bit about heights, but the view from the top was worth it! The museum part has lots of memorabilia and there is a section on the actress Kay Kendall who was born in Withernsea. There's a little tea room with outdoor seating but we didn't purchase anything from here.

Friendly staff.  Nice cafe attached.  Beautiful views from the top.  Reasonable prices.  You get a certificate to say you've successfully climbed to the top.  I thought that was a good keepsake.

Fantastic experience.  Long climb but the view was worth it.  Very interesting museumVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Really lovely. I had called and inquired whether they were open in the week and got a lovely response and very friendly person to answer the phone. We went to the cafe and the service was so friendly and we even met Captain Tom adorable.  As for the journey up, for us, it didn't seem that long up but it did catch us breathless!  All round friendly people and I'm happy I got to pet the cat.

Great views at the top of the lighthouse and an interesting museum. Worth a visit if your in the areaVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

The grandchildren loved it,quite a challenge, all those steps, especially the last flight, not for the faint hearted, a good view from the top.Lots of memorabilia to look at. A cafe with a beautiful garden at the back with  plenty of seats. No onsite parking, roadworks at the moment, with 3 way lights,so on street parking with a small walk. Not sure if there was a restroom, but I'm sure they must have.

Great place I stayed in the garden with a pot of tea, while the others went upto the top of the light house.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

If in the area you must visit this place. Not for the faint hearted alot of steps as you can imagine but plenty to look at at floor level too. A museum and the history of the great actress Kay Kendall who lived a few doors away. Lovely tea room and garden. You get a certificate if you can climb all the stairs. There is a great view from the top with a telescope to use also.
