About us
A centrepiece on Plymouth's Hoe, Smeaton's Tower has become one of the South West's most well-known landmarks.
The lighthouse was originally built on the Eddystone reef in 1759 at a cost of £40,000, but was taken down in the early 1880s when it was discovered that the sea was undermining the rock it was standing on. Approximately two thirds of the structure was moved stone by stone to its current resting place on the Hoe.
Now standing at 72 foot high, Smeaton's Tower offers fantastic views of Plymouth Sound and the city from its lantern room which, along with the rest of the building, has been painstakingly restored to its original glory.
Details of admission prices and more information to help you plan your visit can be found at Smeaton's Tower | The Box Plymouth.
Smeaton’s Tower is now closed for the winter. Opening dates for 2024 will be confirmed soon when once again you’ll be able to take advantage of a ‘Heritage Pass’ which gives you discounted entry to Smeaton’s Tower, Elizabethan House and the Mayflower Museum.
