Designed by David Stevenson and built in 1898, the Noup Head lighthouse provides warning of the North Shoal. The light has been automated and the keepers cottages are sealed up. The surrounding area is a designated RSPB sanctuary with one of the largest colonies of kittiwakes and guillemots in Britain.
