List of lighthouses and lightvessels straight from the horse's mouth.  Visitor centers are a bit harder to find: https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouse-visitor-centres  You can even stay at some: https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouse-cottages

Nearby there are only North Foreland (https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses-and-lightvessels/north-foreland-lighthouse) and Dungeness (https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses-and-lightvessels/dungeness-lighthouse), though the latter does have a redundant lighthouse as well as the current one.  Dover has a redundant lighthouse in the castle, it's called the "Pharos" and is a Roman light, so near on 2,00 years old.  What Dover does have are the harbour lights marking the entrances.  The eastern entrance only has minor lights, but there is a 15m high light on the souther breakwater and a pair of 21m lights marking the western entrance.

Bill Jones:
I live in Maidstone and wonder where lighthouses are that I can visit to take pictures. I have driven to Dymchurch and I have seen the two of them that are there, but the driving was scary as everuone seems to drive so madly in Kent. Can you good people tell me where it would be EASY to drive to another one or maybe two please?? I have seen that there are two near Dover and the motorway looks easy for me so I might try that if the near roads are not hard.
