Spent many holidays staying in the Heartland point lighthouse back in the Sixties when my Uncle Frank was a keeper then again in the early eighties when my cousin Colin was a lighthouse keeper there, didn’t get much sleep when the foghorn was blowing.
Really interesting video. I love Devon and have a trip planned there later this year, not to far from this location- might have to pop over for a look! Cheers Andy and stay well.
Thanks for this, I flew from here thirty odd years ago when I spent a week on Lundy, it has certainly poshed up since then as the facilities back then was literally a garden shed and check in involved getting up close and personal with a set of bathroom scales. Our flight was one of the last before the service was suspended for a time as the helicopter service was withdrawn due to the twin engined machine needed being taken out of service with no replacement, the operator reckoned that the cost of a replacement wasn’t economically viable. Happy times, and if you fancy a week or so on Lundy the Landmark Trust will happily host you.
Fascinating, stayed locally (about 25 minutes walk away)for several summers, truely beautiful part of the country. The last section on the lighthouse brought a wry smile as I came to your site from your video on the Soviet RTGs for their remote lighthouses😁
I remember as a kid in the 70's we were able to walk down to the Lighthouse and even go inside - for free! Thanks for the film.
I was there in August, you've filled in a few of the unanswered questions in had! Thanks Andy!
