Hampton Lighthouse

Another Lighthouse that I have travelled past a lot but have not stopped at as much as I would like is the Hampton Light. It's a beautifully structured pepper shaker style light, standing just over 10 meteres tall. From what I have read it was built in 1911 and in 2007 it was declaired a heritage site. This is one of my favorite Lighthouses in the province, because of it's looks and because it is another that is "close to home".

Of course, it was such a pretty night I HAD to get my picture taken with the light :)

As you can see in the photos below there are some beautiful photo opportunities at this location. I was rushing a bit to try and get here before sunset so I could get clear photos of the area but I'm kinda glad I was running late as it made the view a spectacular one with the sun setting in the background. Visiting this light is well worth the trip over the mountain.


If you'd like to learn more or to get driving directions to this Light stop by Lighthouse Friends.

Happy Travels;
