I am going to make a tribute video to this lighthouse! I didn't like the Hartland Point Lighthouse in the beginning, but it's grown on me, and I think it's a beautiful station! If I had more than a half a million big ones, I would move here and buy this station. I would fix it up and open it to the public.
I finally found out that it is up for sale. What a shame. The last I ever saw it's light shine was on WorldWideLighthouses's video. What a real Shame! ={. But why put it up for half a million bucks?
This lighthouse is to be switched off soon and replaced by a light on a pole on the cliff top. The severity of the erosion around the lighthouse makes any repair uneconomic. This station has not long left.
I was able to actually visit the lighthouse & be given a guided tour by the light keepers daughter.. must have been about 1984 or 1985 ish. There was a larger building there then.
Thank you for the info! I remember it to be a beautiful lighthouse. There was also the remains of a wrecked ship on the cliffs below at the time of my visit... Just seeing your film on Youtube brings back good memories! Thanks for the uploads!
Sold! 1 Feb 2012 the new Beacon comes into play, therefore the light gets switched off at Hartland Lighthouse on 31 Jan 2012.

@hellooldchap No, the public fought for it, it is still in service.

@Umpqua1012 Not any more. See TH website. It is up for sale at £500,000. Replaced with a beacon.

@hellooldchap I checked. There is nothing about the station being up for sale, and nothing about the station being replaced by a light pole.

Yes. That was demolished in the mid 90s to make way for a helicopter landing site.

Least you got to take some film, nice lighthouse though I suspect it may fall into the seas one day due to the erosion of the cliff edge.
