As others have said, an unusual location for a lighthouse.

Lighthouse
Sole Bay is the name of a beer brewed in Southwold, and the location of a sea battle between Anglo/French and Dutch fleets in 1672.

I love the idea of a lighthouse being surrounded by homes.

Lucky to be able to visit the lighthouse and climb to the top. Views from there good but a bit hazy.
