Built in 1844 by the Royal Engineers, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is one of two lighthouses on the island and features a Fresnel lens, which can be seen from over 40 miles away by ships and 100 miles away from airplanes. One of the first lighthouses in the world to be made of cast-iron, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse requires a climb of 185 steps over eight flights of stairs and has been running on electricity since 1964, before which the light was operated by hand. Once the living quarters of the lighthouse keeper before being converted into a restaurant, the Lighthouse Tea Room is situated at the base of the lighthouse's tower and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily.
