Constructed in1835 the original lighthouse was built to warn ships of the offshore Manacles Rocks and Black Rock. Over the years the lighting system has been upgraded and since 1987 has been unmanned and automated.

St Anthony-in-Roseland Church
From the waters edge you can see the church towers peeping out behind Place Manor but to get there you have to follow a narrow footpath from the road. Overlooking the creek, the church is the ancestral home of the Spry family and and is thought to date back to the 12th century. Take a look at the carved woodwork on top of the walls as it is actually Cornish tin painted to resemble wood.
