I wouldn’t have believed there could be a lighthouse sitting in the middle of a large village, even a seaside village, instead of right on the shore. But there it is, in the village of Southwold in Suffolk on the east coast of England. What counts, of course, is that the light at the top is higher than everything around it, so that nothing prevents it from shining out to sea. But from certainly angles, as you walk up the streets to try and get near it, this light is hidden by the houses around it. Here was my first view of it, tucked in the middle of the neighbourhood.
And here it is again from another angle, where you can tell how high it actually is.
The entrance was lovely too, with its white picket fence and shield over the door!
