I was born in the village of Happisburgh and my parents still live in there. I visit when I can, so I thought that we would set up this geocache with the lighthouse as the subject.
Happisburgh Lighthouse is the oldest working light in East Anglia, and the only independently run lighthouse in Great Britain.
Built in 1790, orginally one of a pair - the tower is 85ft tall and the lantern is 134ft above sea level. The 'low light', which was discontinued in 1883, was 20ft lower and the pair formed leading lights marking safe passage around the southern end of the treacherous Haisborogh Sands.
Today the lighthouse is painted white with three red bands, and has a light characteristic of Fl (3) W 30s (3 white flashes, repeated every 30secs) with a range of 18 miles.
The cache is a lock tight container and when hidden contained a lighthouse geocoin, a pink golfball, a keyring, logbook and pencil. The cache is placed in Lantern Lane which is not too far from the lighthouse and gives good views across the village. There is a little bit of temporary parking nearby (see waypoint). You could also park in the village centre and use the footpaths to get there in around 15 minutes.
