Built in 1859 on a grassy island opposite St. Ives, the 26 metre high octagonal tower apparently inspired the author Virginia Woolf to write her famous novella, To The Lighthouse, which I haven't read because, frankly, I'm afraid of her.The best views, for the non-energetic type, are to be had by driving to Gwithiam and turning right along the coast road. About half a mile up there is a turn for Godrevy Island on the left. Okay it doesn't actually go onto the island (obviously) but you get great views. There is an entry fee of about £3 but if you say you're just going up to take a photo, they'll refund it when you return.
