The Lookout station at Cape Cornwall was formerly a HM Coastguard lookout station. It was a very different Station compared with today – early watch-keepers managed with very basic binoculars. Now, we have a range of optics, plus radar, AIS, telephone and radio. We also have a visitor section at the rear of the watch station and it is well worth a visit.
The visitors centre and the watch station are open to the public during the hours of operation.
Visitors are always welcome.
