Lighthouses of England, Portland Bill, Dorset. 1993 

Excellent Peter Thank you.

Peter I've had the pleasure of actually seeing the inside of this Portland Bill as well about 7 or 8 years ago whilst on holiday in the region. I absolutely loved getting up close and seeing everything, I remember the climb up to the optic room as well which was interesting with two way traffic on those stairs ! If I recall the lens was on and rotating when I was up in there, the lamp wasn't lit though obviously as it was daytime. I presume it was rotating as sort of a demonstration to us visitors that was there that day. I will have to see if I can find pictures and video of my visit at some point now !! Great video as always and looking forward to more in the future.

One of my favourite lighthouses in the uk. I never had the opportunity to see inside very intresting. Thank you for uploading this and for adding the fog horn it wouldn't be portland bill without it

Thank you so much for posting these historic video's.

Climbed this bad boy yesterday. Had a tour to the top. The old lens had been replaced with l.e.d and rests at the bottom. Impressive to see up close and the view is excellent once at the top.

Thanks Peter another great video for all of us.

Thank you Sir, thanks to you we discover a world that was unknown to us...

Great vlog Peter,bit of a shock at the end with the fog horn.thanks👍😁👏👏👏

Completely failed to realise just how low I should have turned the volume down despite the warning. Certainly woke me up! As and when things settle down in 2020 I hope to visit a few lighthouses. Not sure if there's a list of which ones will open but I fully intend to find them! I imagine they'll be bookings only which would make it a bit quieter... unless they pull the same trick you just did!

Excellent video

Hi Pete, Thanks for another informative video. Regards Nick

I bet sounding for fog on this tower was none too pleasant with that layout!

Yes seen that one a good few times, have you got anything on Berry Head or Start Point I could see those two when I was at sea the other night although I don't like the new LED light at Berry Head it seems to have lost something

Hi Peter, hope you are safe and well. Where you ever stationd at portland bill lighthouse?

Have you covered the Isle of Man at all ?

Hey, I know Portland!
