    Cost £5 to go up for an adult. It was worth it for the ranging views and historical context/info inside. The tour guide is located half way up and is helpful. You can visit both the interior and exterior of the light house once you reach the top. WATCH YOUR HEAD!! Enjoy the views i posted here. Also there are a lot of step ladder steps to get up there! Be mindful if you have trouble climbing.

    An iconic symbol of Plymouth. Came here for our sons graduation, wonderful view wherever you turn surrounding the tower. Well worth a visit, cafe nearby and just s short stroll into the city centre 👍

    Great afternoon out with the family. Decided to take a trip to Smeaton's Tower and I was amazed to learn the history of Plymouth's lighthouses, the staff were very friendly and helpful as well. The view's from the top looking out over the Sound and back across to the Moors were stunning

    This was a fantastic lighthouse to visit, for which I received a concession of at just £2.50! The lady at the door was lovely, plenty of information is on display about the history and there is a wide variety of rooms. The replica settings really take things back in time, going up to the balcony is a top experience and spiral stairs are amazing!

    Very interesting tower with stunning views. A lot of steps to climb to get to the top but we'll worth it.

    We joined thousands of others, also wanting to show their support to our armed forces on arm forces day. We were treated to an amazing spectacle, and the live music was fantastic with the wall to wall sunshine 🌞 it was an excellent day even though we were all a little sun burnt 😀..

    I didn't go up it this time but sat on bench outside. People kept asking me questions about it. Glad I could answer as we went up to top not long ago. It's well worth all the steps.

    Great visit, well worth the £5 entry and the views from the top are fantastic. Plenty of information dotted around explaining the history of the lighthouse.

    A lighthouse from 18th century, it is even older than United States. Inside there are sets of ladders. Climbing to the top, viewing Plymouth sound from its best location. Nice for kids and family.

    Lovely lighthouse, you can pay to go in. Great coastal views, plenty of benches to sit and relax, large open green area for the dogs to run

  • 5/5 Amy F. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice looking restored light house. You can get really close to this and go up it for a fee of 5 pound. Good views and plenty of grass area for picnics

  • 4/5 Harvey W. 2 years ago on Google
    Iconic symbol of Plymouth. Not suitable for everyone due to the very steep steps and ladders inside. Not great for anyone nervous of heights of confined spaces either. However if you can tolerate that, inside is interesting and the view from the top is stunning and well worth the small entrance fee

  • 5/5 Thomas J. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place, the weather definitely helped! People relaxing, walking dogs, socialising, playing music. So chilled.

  • 5/5 Mitch P. 1 year ago on Google
    Admission to this former Eddystone Lighthouse is just £5 for adults and half that for children. It is a fascinating attraction and the views of the City and Plymouth Sound from the top of the 72 foot high tower are quite spectacular! To get to the top there is a total of 93 steps, part stone spiral staircase, part ship's ladders and you have to duck A LOT, but it's well worth it!
